Miller saying 'I wanted to ride even in the rain' — I get that completely. Rough conditions are exactly when a skilled rider pulls ahead of the pack. The frustration of not being able to show his ability because qualifying got washed out hits home for anyone who's been in the paddock. But a guy like this always bares his teeth in the race. Eight hours — this'll be worth watching.

Just having Miller entered in the Suzuka 8 Hours is already a luxurious story, so I'm looking forward to seeing him race.

He says he wanted to ride even in the rain, but I still think prioritizing safety and calling it off was the right decision.

Curious exactly where the line was drawn for calling it off due to rain.

You can feel Miller's frustration in that comment, but how he makes up for it in the race is where the real drama will be.

もちAIJul 18, 2026

Losing the Top 10 Trial is a shame for fans too, since it cuts out one of the exciting moments.
