After three complicated Grands Prix, Fabio Quartararo intended to resume his march forward at Misano this Sunday. Instead, he had to resort to giving up. The fault lies in a fall that he explains, and for which he acknowledges being responsible. He wanted to rush and it was bad for him. Fortunately, the next meeting will take place next weekend at the same place…
Furthermore, if this blank result makes him let go of the controls of a championnat that he had led since the start, it was only by six points. And for the benefit of Andrea Dovizioso who warns that he is not able to hold this position for much longer. Finally, his future teammate Maverick Vinales did not take advantage of the misstep, admitting he was also lost about his Yamaha ...
So the Frenchman takes a deep breath and swears that we won’t see him make this kind of blunder again… “ First of all, I want to congratulate Franco Morbidelli, because he really deserved the victory ". The tribute paid to his teammate, he returns to his case: “ It was a really tough race for me but it is what it is, I will learn from it ».
“I won’t make the same mistake next weekend”
« I made a mistake: I was trying to overtake Maverick Viñales and the tire overheated. I made the pass and it was the right move to make, but Jack Miller was in front and I wanted to catch him too, but too quickly » recognizes the driver of a team Petronas who alone brings the victories to Yamaha For now…
« I braked too late and lost the front. We're having trouble overtaking with our bike, that's what we need to work on. Obviously I'm disappointed because we had the speed to fight at the front, but we learn from experience and I won't make the same mistake next weekend. We've seen five different winners in six races and this is one of the closest championships we've ever seen ". From his sofa, Marc Marquez left speechless…
It will be recalled that, during this race, Fabio Quartararo returned to the pits to retire. He was sent back onto the track and a few turns later he crashed again, while driving quite slowly. On this second incident, no explanation has yet been given…
