It was one of the highlights of the race at Silverstone: Miller managed to catch first leader Alex Espargaro and sit in front of him a few hundred meters from the finish. In the end, he lost touch with the top three and narrowly missed the podium.
His older brother Alex Espargaro took the chase early in the race, with world championship leader Fabio Quartararo behind him, followed by Francesco Bagnaia and Miller. On lap 4, Quartararo was able to push himself between the two brothers at the entrance to the Woodcote bend. Bagnaia and Miller continued to move forward right behind them.
After a lap, Quartararo took the lead with Pol Espargaró, which he soon lost to Aleix Espargaró. The big question was whether Paul Espargaro’s soft front tire would survive the race and give the Spaniard his first podium finish in the first class with Honda.

Just like Alex Marquez, Miller was able to increase his pace in the final stage of the race and put his fastest race ahead of Paul Espargaro. It wasn’t long before Miller finished fourth with six laps to go and reignite the fight on the podium.
Miller’s fight in his first 3 races in 5 races finally came to an end. On the final lap, the Australian had a dramatic duel with later third-placed Alex Espargaro, who gave Aprilia the top podium in the top flight. Quartararo led dominantly to victory and thus cemented his lead in the overall standings, with Reigns taking second place.
