As you may have noticed over the days, the official announcement of the composition of the teams of the Sepang International Circuit team continues to be delayed and there is now talk of a presentation of its drivers at Silverstone, that this either in MotoGP, Moto2 or Moto3…
At the pre-event press conference held today at the Brno circuit, he was asked Valentino Rossi si Fabio Quartararo seemed to him a good choice to appear alongside his foal Franco Morbidelli in MotoGP riding the Yamaha M1 satellite.
Although an expert in the field, the nine-time world champion did not get much wet…
Valentino Rossi : “I'm not very informed, I don't know more than you, but from what I understand the situation is perhaps that the bike is perhaps between Álvaro (Bautista) and Quartararo. These are very different decisions. On one side you have Quartararo who is fast and definitely has good talent, but no experience. And on the other side you have Álvaro who has a huge amount of experience in MotoGP and represents a safer choice. I think the other choice is more of a gamble. But I don’t know any more, and it’s up to them to decide.”
What would you decide for yourself?
" Me ? I don't know. I think this year Quartararo had two races in which he was very, very fast. But sometimes in Moto2 it's difficult to understand because Quartararo rides the Speed Up and on some circuits it seems very fast, while on other tracks he struggles a lot. I don't know, I have to look, but I don't have to make that decision. I hope for Quartararo that the choice will fall on him, and for Álvaro that he will have the bike (laughs).”
