Estrella Galicia Honda’s Jack Miller will not take part in today’s Misano MotoGP race in Italy today as he is in too much pain to compete.

The Australian took part in qualifying yesterday but the hard braking nature of the San Marino track has proven to much for his injured right hand, so he withdrew himself from the race this morning and didn’t take part in warm-up.

"Misano is a much more physically demanding track to ride than Silverstone and my right hand has been getting worse each day. Every time I got off the bike the swelling was more. It's not painful, but I was lacking power in the hand and you need to have that here for the hard braking areas,” said Miller.

“I thought long and hard about it last night, but it simply wasn't safe for me to ride a 28-lap race with this problem. Now I am focussed only on recovery and getting back on the bike as soon as I am fully fit again."
