Columnist and manager, Carlo Pernat is a must in the Grand Prix paddock and he made his assessment of the last Grand Prix at Misano which closed the debates in the race for the drivers' title. Italian, he regrets this premature end for which his compatriots are paying a high price, but he recognizes that all the merit goes to Fabio Quartararo whose coronation cannot be contested.
Charles Pernat analyzed on GP One the last Grand Prix which took place at Misano and which ended with a new World Champion in MotoGP named Fabio Quartararo. An outcome which also meant the defeat of the Italian camp based at Ducati. The former ofAprilia, which looks after the interests of a Enea Bastianini more and more convincing who has a Ducati contract, is at first not lenient with his compatriots from Borgo Panigale: “ for the Italians, the season is over » he begins. “ Fabio Quartararo is world champion. A deserved title, which he could easily win in Portugal. It's a bit disappointing that Ducati chose two hard front tires, the only ones to do so on the entire starting grid ».
He insists : " It’s a bit of a strategy gone wrong. Miller and Bagnaia fell. The choices are like this and you only know later if they are right or wrong. Bagnaia had a perfect race, but this choice turned out to be a losing one. It's a shame, the championship could have ended later. But it must be said that Quartararo proved to be the strongest of all and he also showed that he is no longer permeable to pressure ».
Carlo Pernat: “ maybe the usual Márquez hasn't returned, but at least it's a winning Márquez«
He also notes the great performance of Marc Marquez : " then there is the return of Márquez, something that will worry others. I think in 2022 he will be the man to beat, he is the phenomenon. The others have grown up, but I think Marc surprised us this year. Maybe the usual Márquez hasn't returned, but at least it's a winning Márquezt”. And in fact, with this victory at Misano, the first on a conventional track since his return from injury, the official Honda signed his third success of the year, becoming the one who has won the most races behind fabio quartararo which has five… And there are still two events to go.
Charles Pernat ends on its pilot Enea Bastianini, which continues to grow: “ good third place for Bastianini, starting eighteenth and third at the finish. Something that is not easy in current MotoGP, without forgetting that he has Zarco's bike from last season, a 2019 Ducati ". In 2022, he will also have a Desmosedici from last campaign, despite his excellent results which now place him at the top of the rookie ranking, ahead of George Martin.
