Australia's Jack Miller has won his first MotoGP race, triumphing in treacherous conditions at a restarted Dutch TT race in Assen where torrential rain forced the riders off the track after 14 laps.
With the restarted race on Sunday cut to 12 laps, the three leading riders including seven-time Assen winner Valentino Rossi, all fell on the slick track, allowing Miller on his Honda to take a shock lead and hold on to pop a wheelie as he crossed the finish line.
The win for Miller's Estrella Galicia 0,0 Marc VDS team was the first MotoGP victory for an independent team since 2006.
Miller also became the first Australian to win in MotoGP since Casey Stoner's victory at the Phillip Island track in 2012.
