The Australian starts to learn his third different brand of MotoGP machine, after Honda and Ducati.
Miller is currently 19th (+1.313s), just behind Mir.
Alex Rins, winner on Sunday for Suzuki, is currently 21st out of 23 riders after his first morning on the LCR Honda.
After spending his entire MotoGP career on a Suzuki, Joan Mir has completed 39 laps on a Honda, for 18th place at lunchtime.
Aleix is currently second on the timesheets, behind Aprilia team-mate Maverick Vinales, with Pol in 13th place on his return to a KTM.
There is no official lunch break today, so the track will remain open for testing right until 5:30pm (followed by some practice starts).
Currently the only rider on the track. Will Aprilia make him more competitive next year?
The 2021 champion has just finished his 56th lap of the day - the most of anybody. It feels like he's making a statement, two days after losing his title.
The Repsol Honda rider is out of his leathers. He's put in quite a shift today already.
The hole left in our hearts is even bigger…

Marquez is back out... and back in immediately. Trying out a new clutch, it seems.
Maverick Vinales puts Aprilia back on top of the timesheets just before midday, he's now 0.251s ahead of Jorge Martin.
After three seasons at Honda, Alex Marquez gets his first laps on a Ducati Desmosedici.
After riding a machine in the usual Monster livery, Fabio Quartararo is now on track with an all-black Yamaha prototype, which should feature the latest version of the more powerful 2023 M1 engine.
Former Repsol Honda rider Pol Espargaro is now up to tenth on his return to KTM.
The Spaniard is 0.742s from Johann Zarco and the fastest RC16 rider.
2021 world champion Fabio Quartararo has done the most laps so far today, at 28.
That's already more than a full race distance with six hours of testing still to go.
Miguel Oliveira is currently the quickest of the riders that are changing manufacturers today. The former KTM rider is in 12th place for RNF Aprilia.
He's out on track now. Martin was snubbed for the factory Ducati seat in 2023 - will he prove them wrong?
Enea Bastianini is out on track - he will be a fascinating new teammate for Pecco Bagnaia because they have battled so competitively already.
Pramac Ducati's Johann Zarco has taken over from Maverick Vinales at the top of the early Valencia Test timesheets.
Enea Bastianini is completing his first laps in factory Ducati colours, with team-mate and newly crowned world champion Francesco Bagnaia watching on from the pits.
