Pramac Yamaha rider Jack Miller says the V4 powered M1 leaves him feeling like a lamb to the slaughter on the straights, with rivals pulling away every time he opens the throttle. At Austin all four Yamaha riders circulated at the bottom of the field, with Miller losing nearly 10km/h to the Aprilias on top speed. Despite calling them desperate times, Miller says he has not lost faith in the project.
