    Read Mat Oxley's useful write-up in motorsportmagazine.com

    Gives you a taste of how Jack celebrated the win but remained humble.

    Another good effort by Miller after starting 16th on the grid to finish 7th in the German GP overnight, always in touch with the leading group throughout the race.

    Yep, he did very well all things considered. Hopefully he takes this good form and confidence forwards.

    More broadly, I wonder if Rossi is kicking himself for not coming in sooner? Sure MM gambled going full slicks but he got some quick pay off that others like Rossi could have benefited from three or so laps earlier. Made for an interesting race!

    I see Jack has qualified in 5th for the Aust Gp, lets hope its not going to end like most the season by parking it in the sandtrap

    Hoping can hang in there, he been off with injury also, not only in the sandpit. Good luck to him.

    I watched most of the race, good effort from Jack & a good tussle for those riders in the midfield.

    Not a bad result again for Jack mostly by default but good regardless. Needs to learn how to keep the tyre on the bike rather than chewing it up to get thru the field then slipping back. He may well have ended up on the podium if he could have done that

    Dislocated shoulder. He was cleared by hospital but not by team yet last I heard, he wanted to get back on asap. They popped it back in, in situ in the sand trap which is why they had the barriers up. It looked like it was gonna be real bad.

    That was one scary looking crash. Did not expect him to be walking away from that one.

    It doesn't pull a ripcord, its actually based off of telemetry and g force monitors in the suit. Super trick shit. In a highside the algorithms they use can inflate the suit before u hit the deck.

    Wow! Always thought Lorenzo was headed back to a Yamaha ride or possible Suzuki and was even linked to KTM at one point. Never thought he would take Danny's ride. Petrucci probably was the best choice for Ducati even though we would have loved to see Jack on it

    I see Ant West has been suspended again for failing a doping test.......may not be drug related but performance enhancing supplements what ever that means

    Well done to Jack for a great 3rd place in USA GP. Ran out of tyre halfway through but able to cling on to 3rd

    Yeah it’s a pity they’re all forced to run the same crappy tyre from Michelin, there’s no competition so I’m not convinced Michelin are putting in their best effort.
