MotoGP Thailand Championship: everything has to be done again for Fabio Quartararo but everything also remains to be done for the others

Championship leader Fabio Quartararo quickly turned his back on this Thai Grand Prix on which he did not speak out either with the press, whose point was canceled, or with his team who will therefore wait for better arrangements. mind of his champion to analyze what happened. Because it was a real wreck that the French World Champion experienced on a Yamaha whose brand compatriots Morbidelli and Crutchlow regretted a too great rise in the pressure of the front tire, leading to overheating of the rubber. A problem that is not new. While waiting for the technical cross-check, we must clearly see the damage: with three races to go, Fabio Quartararo is only two points ahead of Pecco Bagnaia...

Certainly, he also has 19 on Aleix Espargaró and his Aprilia, while if Enea Bastianini is 39 lengths, Jack Miller joined mathematical probability with 40 units in passive. From four, we would therefore have gone to five contenders for the crown… But that remains theoretical.

Because the masks have fallen in Buriram. And it's Johann zarco who finally told the truth, as always and that is to his credit. He could very well have put forward a bogus excuse, like the tires being worn out because they were overstressed by his climb, to explain the sudden collapse in his pace when he found himself behind bagnaia, just after passing with authority Marc Marquez…But instead, he was transparent: recommendations exist from Misano within the clan Ducati, aiming to leave alone Pecco Bagnaia, and the only driver of the brand to consider them from afar is Enea Bastianini.

Championship: the situation is serious but not desperate for Fabio Quartararo

This is what is said and which adds to the dedication of the VR46 to the classmate bagnaia. Suddenly, the encirclement of the commando Quarterly is well and truly recorded. Is it ruined though? Nope. The lines that arrive are not traps for his Yamaha . There remains the question of rain. It hurts, obviously, but it also repels bagnaia when he's not on his good days. These two points still to be filled are perhaps greater for him than they appear. See you now in Australia, homeland of Jack Miller, in great shape, which goes back on bastianini and who will perhaps be less docile in front of his compatriots than is usual among Ducati...
