As the saying goes: you wait for ages for a bus and then two come along at once. Jack Miller’s (Ducati Lenovo Team) debut factory campaign may not have started in an all guns blazing manner, but Jerez and Le Mans have seen the charismatic Australian claw his way out of the trenches to sit just 16 points off World Championship leader Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP).

俗話說得好：干等車不來，一來就來兩。杜卡迪車手杰克·米勒的廠隊(duì)之旅也許沒有一個(gè)火力全開的起始，不過，在赫雷茲和勒芒硝煙散盡之后，這位充滿魅力的澳大利亞人已然走出泥沼。他離榜首的夸特拉羅只有16分了！

The 2021 SHARK Grand Prix de France was bonkers from start to finish. Rather fitting then that Miller, a boisterous personality on and off the track, went on to win Sunday’s first flag-to-flag epic in four years.?

瘋狂的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)貫穿了2021賽季的法國(guó)站，大開大合的比賽讓本就張揚(yáng)的米勒如魚得水，澳大利亞人贏得了四年來的首次“旗到旗”比賽。（指干濕混合的比賽中，用于換車的特殊規(guī)則）

Miller was fast in both the dry and wet conditions. As soon as the riders ventured out on Michelin’s wet rubber, the 26-year-old reeled in Quartararo at a rapid rate of knots and made his two long-lap penalties – for speeding in the pitlane – look like nothing. Miller admitted after the race that he had no idea what the double long-lap penalties were for, so to keep his cool and make zero errors from there on in is another indication that we’re seeing a complete Miller in 2021.

米勒不論是在干地條件下，還是潮濕環(huán)境下，都體現(xiàn)了良好的速度優(yōu)勢(shì)。26歲的澳大利亞人由于進(jìn)站換車超速，收到了兩次“長(zhǎng)圈處罰”，但這絲毫影響不了米勒的節(jié)奏。在大家紛紛換上米其林雨胎后，米勒極速接近領(lǐng)先的夸特拉羅，優(yōu)勢(shì)明顯。賽后，米勒承認(rèn)他當(dāng)時(shí)不知道自己為什么會(huì)被處以兩次“長(zhǎng)圈處罰”，但這也讓我們看到了一個(gè)臨危不亂的杰克·米勒。是的，2021賽季，這名杜卡迪車手已滿血?dú)w來。

Riding in mixed, damp or wet conditions is much more mentally demanding than riding in the dry. Riders don’t know where the limit is, a crash can bite at any moment – as we saw 117 times across the weekend at Le Mans – and when you’re trying to win a race that has gone from dry, to wet, and back to dry again, the mental strain must be enormous. That’s why Miller’s comfortable win – relatively speaking – was so impressive. And it was a victory that sees Miller do something no other Australian has done since 2012.

在干濕混合的賽道上駕駛賽車，可比平時(shí)在干地上要更加考驗(yàn)人。車手們無法準(zhǔn)確判斷賽車的極限，隨時(shí)都有摔車的可能——整個(gè)周末，車手們?cè)诶彰⒇暙I(xiàn)了117次摔車事故——而當(dāng)你嘗試拿下一場(chǎng)由晴到雨，又由雨轉(zhuǎn)晴的比賽時(shí)，這對(duì)車手精神上的壓力可想而知。即便如此，米勒卻讓勝利看上去如此水到渠成，這更加讓人驚嘆。這場(chǎng)勝利，讓澳洲車手車迷，仿如夢(mèng)回2012年的榮耀時(shí)刻。

Casey Stoner, a two-time MotoGP? World Champion and a rider widely regarded as one of the most talented guys ever to grace the sport, last won back-to-back races in Jerez and Estoril during his swansong 2012 campaign with Repsol Honda. Stoner is also the only rider to have won the MotoGP? title on a Ducati, that 2007 season strung together by the Australian is one of the all-time greats.

做為兩屆世界冠軍，凱西·斯通納被廣泛認(rèn)為是摩托運(yùn)動(dòng)史上最具天賦的車手之一。2012年，在自己的MotoGP絕唱賽季里，這位澳洲前輩在赫雷茲和艾斯托利爾斬獲背靠背冠軍。斯通納還是歷史上唯一一個(gè)杜卡迪的MotoGP世界冠軍，2007賽季那華麗的奪冠之路更是被奉為經(jīng)典。

Now Miller does believe in himself. Two wins in two, matching Stoner’s 2012 feat, and bringing himself right into the title frame just a few weeks after people were writing him off signal a perfect couple of Grands Prix. But what’s changed between now and the beginning of 2021? Well, in terms of Miller as a rider, nothing. But tyre woes and arm pump caused two P9s at Losail, then a mistake in Portugal cost Miller a chance of a good result. Those issues have now been firmly put to bed, and as the three-time premier class winner says, the ball is now rolling.

回到現(xiàn)在，米勒已經(jīng)找回了自信。連續(xù)兩站站上最高領(lǐng)獎(jiǎng)臺(tái)，讓26歲的澳大利亞人成功復(fù)刻九年前斯通納的輝煌，同時(shí)也使他自己一躍加入到爭(zhēng)冠集團(tuán)之中。然而就在幾周前，人們還把他排除在奪冠名單之外，這期間發(fā)生了什么變化嗎？就米勒自己來說，什么都沒變。輪胎的錯(cuò)誤選擇，肘對(duì)肘的過激爭(zhēng)斗讓他的卡塔爾之旅僅僅收獲兩個(gè)第九，而失誤又讓他在葡萄牙同好成績(jī)擦肩而過?，F(xiàn)在，這些問題都以不復(fù)存在，正如我們的三次分站冠軍得主自己說的那樣，好戲開始了。
