Ducati MotoGP star Jack Miller has revealed he had to undergo two operations while in quarantine in Australia.

Miller got a staph infection in the leg which previously had a pin in following a leg break but it became infected.

“The leg’s good now. As you know, we had to do quarantine when I went home and I ended up doing 19 days, because on day nine I got a staph infection in my leg,” said Miller said, after the Ducati team launch.

“So I had to get another two operations done, in the Coronavirus ward, even after I was finished for the 14 days in isolation. It meant 19 days in quarantine and 28 days out of quarantine, while I was at home.

“The leg’s perfect now, I’ve been doing motocross, cycling. It wasn’t the bone, just more like a flesh infection. But they had to re-operate and clean it out.”
