Despite an earlier trip with the gravel and slapped with a double long-lap penalty, Jack Miller still were able to find himself because the winner at the French GP in front of home favourites Johann Zarco and Fabio Quartararo.
It was a chaotic race at Le Mans as the race were only available in dry conditions before heavy rain hit the circuit after a few laps.
The scenario forced all rider in the future in to the pit lane to swap their bike.
The Ducati rider ran off the track and in to the gravel on his way to pit lane and then caught speeding, resulting in the double long-lap penalty.
Quartararo also handed exactly the same punishment for bike swap mishaps after he entered his teammates, Maverick Vinales, garage before jumping on his M1 with the items of help from the pit crew.
The Frenchman managed to clinch a podium finish at third spot to secure a lead in the championship standings with one point ahead of Francesco Bagnaia.
Meanwhile, Zarco returns towards the podium with second place after missing out in the previous two rounds.
Miller later shared his takes on the crazy race.
“Winning two races consecutively is really a dream for me, especially after this type of difficult race where I even needed to have a long double lap and ended up within the gravel. So to be capable of getting this result is really extraordinary! The race really was long and hard mentally.
“I tried to keep my concentration and kept telling myself to stay calm. In this way, I managed the tyres well and saved them until the end, handling the edge on Johann (Zarco), who was getting very close right at the end. It had been really a fantastic victory!,” said the Australian.
Miller’s teammate, Bagnaia, wasn’t remote as he secured fourth place finished despite a bad start.
“I got a bad start making an error around the first lap, going wide at Turn 6. Then, there is the flag-to-flag: it had been the very first time for me! It wasn’t easy, however in a means, I enjoyed it. In the beginning, I didn’t feel completely comfortable on the bike, however in the wet, I had been capable of finding my rhythm right away.
“Finishing fourth during these conditions is a really good result, also considering that this past year I was very slow in the rain. Now i'm second in the Championship, only one point behind Quartararo, so I’m delighted,” he said.
Ducati is going to be back in action in their home turf in Mugello for the Italian GP at the end of the month.
