Just got off his Yamaha M1 from the Petronas Yamaha SRT satellite team after getting second place on the starting grid for the Grand Prix of the Czech Republic in Brno, Fabio Quartararo confided in front of the site camera MotoGP.com with the satisfaction of having secured the first line, but undoubtedly also the feeling that he could have done even better without the yellow flags...
We report his comments here without any formatting.
Fabio, the conditions were extremely delicate but you are still on the front line, even after a fall. Are you still satisfied with this?
fabio quartararo: " Yes, yes, I am finally very happy! The most important thing was to be at the front, but unfortunately Cal fell in front of us and there were the yellow flags. On this track, honestly, we know the track conditions are very bad. The tarmac. So we know it's either during the first turn of the tire or it's over. Our first sector was very good, but Cal crashed and we had to slow down before trying another lap. In fact, I was pretty good at the limit but I'm happy because I felt the limit by braking a little too late in the second corner before the last. It's good to test the limit. I'm OK and the main goal was the first line. We can be happy for the team since Franco is also on the front row and we increased our pace a lot in FP4, so I'm very happy with this day. And I apologize to the team for the fall. »
