MotoGP, Fabio Quartararo is worried: "we lost more than 40 points on Pecco Bagnaia in the last two races"

At the end of a Grand Prix of Brittany at Silverstone, Fabio Quartararo takes stock of the championship and after this assessment sees the prospects. He had achieved this at Silverstone last year, but circumstances and technical choices brought him up to eighth place for this edition of the Battle of Britain. Certainly, he finished ahead of his current runner-up in the general classification with a bruised body Aleix Espargaró from whom he took a point. But, during this time, Pecco Bagnaia won his fourth victory of the season and he sees the red Ducati growing faster and faster in the mirrors of his Yamaha which will face tracks which should make people talk again about its sluggish engine...

Long lap or not, fabio quartararo hoped to really get more out of his English experience, before going to the tracks which give pride of place to mechanical powers, a closed club whose Yamaha is not a member. In Iwata, we tend to keep things quiet. “ I could talk about top speed, acceleration, rear grip... but I prefer not to talk too much » comments the Frenchman. “ It's important that we stay focused, because there are some negative aspects that this year we will not be able to improve now ».

**Fabio Quartararo: “ we need to wake up«**

And concentration will be needed because the armada Ducati carrying his general in chief bagnaia seems to finally be constituted: “ with Aleix Espargaró, it's not the most important » assures the M1 pilot. “ We lost more than 40 points on Pecco in the last two races, so we need to wake up. I see Pecco more as the rival right now, he is in a phase where it is difficult to stop him ».

He ends by analyzing the deadlines that await him: “ I don't think there is a tailor-made circuit for us. In fact, the next circuits are circuits with lots of acceleration and long straights, then will come Japan and Thailand, where we did not race last year, but I think we will find a similar situation there ". So it won't be simple, a priori.
