Fabio Quartararo has worked well since the start of this MotoGP season to arrive, with three Grands Prix to go, to be able to bend the title race in his favor. If we want to remember the same Frenchman in the Petronas Yamaha colors in 2020, we realize a real metamorphosis. As far as he is concerned, the idea that the chrysalis became a butterfly is not just a metaphor. This is definitely a concrete case. And it would even augur the start of a prosperous period for French motorcycles in Grand Prix...
If the talent of fabio quartararo has never been contested, his charisma and his moral strength had always been a subject, until this year 2021 where nothing seems to touch his serenity and his pleasure in doing such a beautiful job. And yet, from the box syndrome depriving him of an assured victory in Jerez to the combination which opened in Montmeló, he had a few opportunities to be destabilized to say the least. But he continued to plow his path, seeing one by one his declared adversaries at certain periods let go. There have been Johann zarco, he glimpsed Miguel Oliveira, Joan Mir was declared without materializing and it is now bagnaia who presents himself. But too late.
Too late because yes fabio quartararo saw him grow in his rearview mirrors with his successes in Aragon and Misano, he stopped his progress in Austin to now keep him in check at 52 points. However, there remains 75 to be taken so well that if the tricolor leaves the Misano circuit on October 24 with only one unit ahead of the official Ducati, he will be MotoGP World Champion.
A hell of a deadline awaits the official Yamaha and this is how he approaches the subject on motogp.com : “ I've been waiting for this moment for over 15 years and of course it's one less race towards my dream, there are only three left. That being said, it should not become an obsession. I know I have a nice margin. I will do my best in Misano, then if I am not crowned there, it will be in Portimão. Let's take things step by step! »
Bagnaia: “ Fabio Quartararo had a fantastic season »
With these five successes recorded at the Grands Prix of Doha, Portugal, Italy, the Netherlands and Great Britain, to which are added five other podiums, fabio quartararo asserts its supremacy over Francis Bagnaia which has two victories for a total of seven Top 3s and one retirement. The Italian knows it: the matter seems to be over: “ I'm not going to give up, but Fabio had a fantastic season. He was the fastest from the start and he knew how to stay consistent, unlike the others. » As for Joan mir, third and already eliminated from the title race, his record is still empty of any triumph this year.
Finally, we note that fabio quartararo established himself in one season at Yamaha as Marc Marquez in Honda. He stifled his distinguished colleagues who were languishing much further down the standings during the Grands Prix. He even made his teammate flee at the start of the campaign towards other skies. This shows its current hold on MotoGP.
