Enea Bastianini’s pass on Jorge Martin wasn’t th꧒e only contentious moment of racing at the Emilia-Romagna MotoGP.

Jack Miller and Johann Zarco clashed in similar 🔯fashion, also on the last lap at Misanoಌ.

LꦐCR Honda’s Zarco overtook KTM’s Miller as the🎐y battled to finish 15th.

Bastianini’s race-winning manoeuvre agains𒁃t Martin stole all the attention - it was not even deemed worthy of investigation by the MotoGP stewards.

Martin, and even Marc Marquez, ♑claimed Bastianini was in the wrong for his aggressive move.

But Miller insists there was no wrongdoing in Bastianini and Martin’༺s squabble, or his own battle against Zarco.

"It was a pure race situation – last lap and a battle,” Miller was qu❀oted by .

“If you look at Zarco against me on the last lap 🌊in Turn 14 o✃r at Diggia against me in the same corner – that's racing!

💞“The problem with these bikes is that you can't overtake without touching an opponent.

“Unless you make a crazy setup with which you can then bra🌃ke into the corners like an idiot. It's good that both stayed on the bike."

Miller initially made up e𝄹ight places at the Em🍎ilia Romagna MotoGP, after qualifying in 19th.

But both factory Hondas - Joan Mir and Luca Marini - found their way past Miller, before Zarco becam♍e the third Honda to dash past him.

Miller’s struggles on the KTM will come to an end at the conclusio🗹n of 2024, and he was not hugely involved in the Misano test when it came to developments for next year.

But Miller wa♎s able to finally confirm last weekend that he has found a new home for next season.

He will join Miguel Oliveira at the brand-new P🍨ramac Yam༺aha project.

Unti🉐l then, his difficulties on the KTM will be at the forefront of M🌠iller’s mind.
