Australian Jack Miller said luck was on his side when the Red Bull KTM rider survived a nasty crash in the opening lap of the #MalaysianGP at the Sepang International Circuit on Sunday.
Miller got entangled with his teammate Brad Binder and Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo, with the Australian being thrown off his bike before his helmet hit Quartararo’s rear tyre and Honda’s Joan Mir ran over his legs.
The MotoGP race was immediately red-flagged and while Binder and Quartararo walked away, Miller stayed motionless on the track until assistance arrived.
He was immediately taken to the circuit’s medical centre and as the race was restarted - without both KTM riders on the grid - there was a huge sigh of relief when cameras caught Miller walking back to the garage relatively unscathed.
“Lucky to walk away from that one today. Thank you to everyone for the kind messages,” Miller wrote on Instagram.
