Australian MotoGP 2022 Phillip Island
Aussie MotoGP star Jack Miller will be honoured at Phillip Island when part of the circuit is renamed Miller Corner.
Turn 4, once known as Honda Corner, will be renamed today in a ceremony with Grand Prix officials.
The 4.4km circuit already honours previous Aussie greats – (Casey) Stoner Corner, (Mick) Doohan Corner and (Wayne) Gardner Straight.
At Phillip Island, always expect the unexpected. Unpredictable conditions at the coastal track threw up an unlikely trio of riders who were fastest in the opening practice sessions of the 2022 Australian Motorcycle Grand Prix.
Frenchman Johann Zarco surprised the favourites, piloting the Pramac Ducati to be quickest overall on a day which heralded MotoGP’s return to the circuit after three years.
Aussie crowd favourite Jack Miller had a disappointing day, more than half a second off the pace, finishing in 13th position.
Zarco crossed the line just 0.038 seconds ahead of VR46 Racing Ducati rider Marco Bezecchi.
