Australian MotoGP rider Jack Miller suffered a setback at the Thailand Grand Prix, crashing in the Tissot Sprint. The Prima Pramac Yamaha rider's impressive qualifying effort was undone when he suffered a disappointing crash on lap seven, forcing him to retire from sixth position.
In a previous crash at the Valencia Grand Prix, Miller slid off while leading the race, ultimately losing control of his bike. He also had a close call at the Malaysian Grand Prix, where he was involved in a scary crash with Brad Binder and Fabio Quartararo.
Miller's crash in the Tissot Sprint at the Thailand Grand Prix will undoubtedly impact his standings in the championship. As the MotoGP season continues to unfold, riders will be pushing themselves to the limit, and incidents like this serve as a reminder of the risks involved in the sport.
