Jack Miller leaves mainland Europe behind this week and heads across the English Channel to Silverstone and the British Grand Prix, round 12 of the 2017 MotoGP World Championship.
Miller heads to England looking to rediscover the early season form that saw him finish top ten four times in the first five races and then go on to secure a season best finish of sixth at the Dutch TT, the race he won in 2016.
The Australian managed to salvage points in the Czech Republic Grand Prix at Brno three weeks ago, but left Austria one week later with zero points to his name after crashing out of the race while chasing a top ten finish.
Miller has spent the intervening time at his European base in Andorra, the first time he's returned there since the Dutch TT at Assen, and is looking forward to returning to Silverstone fully fit, after racing there injured last season following a heavy crash at the Austrian Grand Prix.
"The build up to Silverstone last year wasn't ideal, as I was still struggling with the injury I picked up in Austria,” he said. “This year I head to England fully fit and feeling good after a week spent training in Andorra.”
“It's the first time I've been back here since I left for the Dutch TT in June and it's been good to get out on the bicycle and do some proper training. We need to get the season back on track at the British Grand Prix after two difficult races in the Czech Republic and Austria. We started the season finishing regularly inside the top ten and that's where we need to be again this weekend."t
