MotoGP rider Jack Miller is looking to turn things around at the Suzuka 8 Hours he's competing in. Admitting that Friday's qualifying "didn't go as I wanted," he signaled his determination to stage a turnaround in the race.
Even if qualifying doesn't go your way, the 8 Hours is eight hours long. What makes a GP rider like Miller dangerous is his pacing and instinct for when to strike in the race itself. Cut the waste from corner entry to exit and just tick off consistent laps, and a bad qualifying spot flips easily. I'm betting on Miller in the race.

That Suzuka heat and humidity really turns endurance racing into a physical battle, that's what makes it thrilling to watch.
How much of a comeback they pull off in the race, given how disappointing Friday was, only makes it more exciting.
Is it unusual for MotoGP riders to enter the Suzuka 8 Hours?
MotoGP riders entering as guest riders happens sometimes, but not every year, so it draws a lot of attention.
'It didn't go as hoped' basically means qualifying fell apart, to put it plainly.
In endurance racing the race laps matter more than qualifying, so there's plenty of room left for a comeback.
Miller coming to the Suzuka 8 Hours on the side of MotoGP is just a genuinely happy thing as a fan.
