Miller will miss the Japanese MotoGP, hopes to be fit for home race
Jack Miller will miss the upcoming Japanese GP after breaking his in a trials crash leg last Friday. The Australian was training near his European base in Andorra and fractured the top of the tibia when he put his right foot down to save a slow speed front-end crash.
He immediately traveled to the hospital in Barcelona where he underwent surgery on Saturday morning. A plate and eight screws were inserted to stabilize the fracture.
Miller already has some mobility in the injured leg but will head back to Andorra to start an intense program of physiotherapy designed to get him back on the bike for the Australian Grand Prix, which takes place at Phillip Island in just over two weeks’ time.
