Even as KTM Factory Racing rider Jack Miller was preparing for the MotoGP practice session on Friday, he had a surprise visitor in his pit garage when a monkey perched itself high on the wall.
Speaking after his run-in with wildlife, Miller said, “I was watching the Moto3 session. The TV is quite high on the wall, and cables were going over the galvanising tray and into the wall. I sat there and saw something out of the corner of my eye. I initially thought it was a dog before I realised it was a monkey! When I say monkey, it was not a small monkey but a really big one like a baboon. We threw some bananas, and he hasn’t come back, so hopefully, we will find out tonight.”
“One of the mechanics had a coffee knocked over yesterday, and we couldn’t work out what happened. I think we might have found the culprit,” joked the Australian.
