Ducati racer Jack Miller clashed with Aleix Espargaro from Aprilia during the first day of the Mandalika 2022 MotoGP test at the Mandalika Circuit, Friday (11/2).
The first day of the Mandalika MotoGP test was not only about the Mandalika Circuit which was dirty because of the debut and mud but also the incident with Miller having an argument with Aleix Espargaro.
Quoted from MotosanMiller was annoyed with Aleix because the Spaniard braked as he exited the corner.
“He hit the brakes on the way out of the corner and I almost hit him,” Miller said.
“Then I caught up with him, and accelerated the motorbike. But he pretended not to know. You know, Aleix being Aleix, he was arrogant,” Miller added.
