Fabio Quartararo left Brno with a lot of questions in mind and one certainty: he had just experienced the most difficult MotoGP Grand Prix of his young and already brilliant career. Seventh and powerless to resist the slightest opponent at the end of the course, it did not escape his notice that the winner Brad Binder, on KTM, took a second from him per lap. A slap from which he wants to recover by finding answers. However, the questions would go well beyond his cubicle. He has a theory in mind, and here it is…
fabio quartararo arrived at Brno crowned with two successes giving him control of the championship. HAS Jerez, twice, he had turned in a perfect copy, and he went to the Czech Republic for the new assignment convinced that he had revised well. But the drawn subject concerning tires was not his cup of tea. However, he had not made a dead end. However, he suspects that the end result honoring KTM or the fact that the Austrian brand already knew the questions, and therefore the answers to the test. Would there be leaks, even in MotoGP?

I don't know how many days of testing they had with Dani, but I think they knew which tire was good for the race before the weekend started, and I think Michelin brought the right tire by themselves. based on these tests. So they already had a lot of experience before the Grand Prix »
The sole manufacturer and therefore supplier of the entire tray would thus have worked with only KTM for the three Grands Prix in August, thus giving them a considerable advantage. It will be easy to check this, since the Red Bull Ring will host the fourth round of the calendar this weekend and the fifth then a week later…
« I think KTM was the strongest this weekend. As I have said, they tested a lot and Michelin brought the best tires » insists the Frenchman in his debriefing. “ Of course, these were the best tires for them. So yes, it was difficult for us because we didn't expect a race like this. We know they have already tested in Austria. Not just Brad, not just Dani, but every KTM rider. So we have to be careful and be very smart to take a lot of points. We will see ". To be continued…
