Miller tumbled out of the sprint race at Le Mans last weekend and was fighting for the top six having led briefly in the grand prix when he crashed at Turn 4.
This has seen the Australian slip 45 points back in the championship standings, with Miller “kicking myself” for not capitalising on bad days for numerous title contenders in the grand prix.
“Just a weekend of mistakes from my behalf, which isn’t good enough,” Miller said when asked by Autosport if losing points or hindering his KTM adaptation through his crashes frustrated him more.
“I apologised to the team and everyone for that, and we’ll try to be better in Mugello.
“We are still 45 points back. We’re not that far back from the lead.
“And on a day when Pecco scored zero, and a couple of other guys too, it could have been a good day for points and we didn’t take any.
“So, I’m kicking myself for that.”
Miller’s sprint race crash was down to him running the medium front tyre and not feeling confident enough on it, while his Sunday spill came as he took too much kerb at exiting the Dunlop chicane.
