Between fabio quartararo and the French Grand Prix is a “I love you neither” that goes on. In three visits, the Frenchman was only able to score the points for a sixth place last year, in a Moto3 category where he took pole position in 2015 before abandoning. His move to Moto2 this season will not have given him more success on home soil. Starting twentieth, it was only eighteenth that driver Sito Pons saw the checkered flag.
A frustrating situation but the result of a past lack of performance on the Le Mans track. The first wet day began with the twenty-fourth time on a track going towards the dryer and ended with a sixteenth time on a really wet bitumen. On Saturday, qualifying offered a twentieth plot on the starting grid.
The race was finally offered under clear sunshine but it was not a clearing for the Niçois. Which explains his recurring concern: “ during the first laps, with a full tank, it is not very difficult to get the bike to take turns. As a result, we don't get the slightest benefit from new tires. This is an area we really need to work on because at the end of the race we have a good pace ».
« We now have to think about that for the next Grand Prix to be efficient from the start ". The next event will be Italy from June 2, on the Mugello track which is the one which has established itself as the best beginner this season in the Moto2 peloton: Pecco Bagnaia. Fabio is fifteenth in the provisional general with thirteen units.
