MotoGP Aragon J3: the first words of Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha/AB)

Fabio Quartararo experienced the worst scenario in this Aragon Grand Prix, falling from the start, victim of racing circumstances of which Marc Marquez was the unfortunate instigator. It is therefore a blank result which almost completely overhauls the championship since the Frenchman is only 10 points ahead of Bagnaia and 17 over Aleix Espargaró while 5 races remain to be done. But it could have been worse...

Worse because the Frenchman is not injured, despite a very violent fall which could also have gone wrong for the unfortunate man Nakagami which subsequently came up against the same Marc Marquez to the Honda injured by first contact with the pilot Yamaha . Worse also because bastianini “saved” 5 points by playing his card for victory against the official Ducati.

These are his first words spoken at the Canal+ microphone, with a face marked by fatigue… “ It's okay, it's okay, my leg is a little burned, my chest is a little injured, but hey, it's okay. I didn't really make a mistake but it's a shame to fall in the 3rd turn... It's a shame because we really had the pace to fight for a good result here and we couldn't do it ».

Fabio Quartararo: “ we no longer have a joker, we will have to give our best »

He finishes : " cIt's like that, we turn the page and we think of Japan where we will try to do much better. The championship ? That's the first thing I thought of, it was good to see the battle ahead. Of course because it also gives us five points but we have to stay focused. Now we still have 10 points, a little lead, so now we no longer have a joker. We will have to give as much as possible in the last 5 races ».
