Jack Miller will start Sunday's Argentina MotoGP from just 14th on the grid after a problematic qualifying was compounded by a penalty for 'disturbing' Fabio Quartararo.

Pol Espargaro feels he and Repsol Honda team manager Alberto Puig were simply explaining the 'reality' of the factory's tyre situation at the Indonesian MotoGP, following a firm defence of the casing change by Michelin.
