Overview

• Running in the lead group, Miller lost the front at Phillip Island’s Turn 6 after reporting vibrations and needing to force the bike into the corner.
• His weekend had featured a front‑row start and fourth in the sprint, but the Yamaha’s pace faded over longer runs compared with Aprilia and Ducati.
• Team director Gino Borsoi said data showed nothing unusual from Miller and suggested the heavier fuel load likely made braking more difficult, with tyre influence unconfirmed.
• Miller apologised to fans, called the outcome deflating, and noted it was his second retirement in as many weekends.
• Team‑mate Miguel Oliveira recovered to 12th after early struggles, saying electronic changes improved his bike late, as the team turns attention to Sepang on October 26–28.
