MotoGP Misano1 Championship: Quartararo loses his head but not that big

It was supposed to happen this season, and it happened this Sunday in Misano. On a track where he thought he would resume his march forward, Fabio Quartararo finally played his joker. A blank result which can shake morale, but in his misfortune, the Frenchman is doing well. Since he only relinquished control of a general classification that he had held since the start of this campaign by six points. The new leader is Andrea Dovizioso who was not asking for so much given his performance in this race. With a fifth winner this year, MotoGP, more than ever, continues to look for its boss...

Four Yamaha on the first four cones on the starting line, and, finally, only one on the podium. But on the highest step. He is the lowest ranked driver in the championship, Franco Morbidelli who took the prize. And it's a great first for him, after a clean and flawless performance. The Italian, who is also Brazilian, led from start to finish.

Since we are at Yamaha , we will note the anonymous performance of Maverick Vinales yet started from pole position and who does not really benefit from the abandonment of his future teammate. Worse, he sees Rossi return to its height, with the same number of points, while the winner of the day is one unit away. Since we are talking about Valentino Rossi, we note that he thought he had done the essential to ensure his 200^th career podium, before the draft Joan Mir who is now a protagonist in the title race.

General grouping

The official Suzuki is fourth in the new ranking, 16 lengths only from the Ducati factory rider. He follows Miller, third, by 3 points. The Australian hoped for better as his start to the event showed. But he had to lower his flag once halfway through the race, leaving the spotlight to his teammate returning from injury. Francis Bagnaia. Second in this sixth meeting of the year, he scored points to claim the succession of Dovizioso...

The only Frenchman to have collected points is John Zarco which only takes one. The best KTM rider remains Brad Binder, eighth, with 53 points. Next meeting, next weekend and at the same place…
