2019 Qatar GP: 4 Predictions for the race

#2 Jack Miller secures a spot on the podium

Jack Miller starts the race from the fourth place

Jack Miller displayed extraordinary pace throughout the weekend, which allowed him to secure a brilliant fourth place, three places ahead of Ducati's number-two man Danilo Petrucci.

The 24-year-old Australian rider, with the Alma Pramac Racing Team, has defied all odds by putting spectacular performances that are comparable to the riders from the Factory Racing teams. His qualifying time of 1'53.809, less than 0.3 seconds behind Vinales is yet another testament to his blistering pace this weekend.

A good start off the line and a consistent ride throughout the duration of the race might be just enough for the Australian to secure his second MotoGP podium in the first race of the 2019 season.

Elsewhere, there is a possibility that one of the Petronas Yamaha SRT teams could also find themselves in the hunt for a place in the top-5.
