MotoGP Valencia-2 Yamaha: Fabio Quartararo has not yet given up

Undoubtedly the last European Grand Prix was a tough blow suffered by Fabio Quartararo. Put on the ropes by the uppercut of the victory of a Joan Mir who took flight in the race for the title, the Frenchman, after falling, had to resign himself to the 14^rd rank, far from its initial ambitions. That being said, he is not throwing in the towel and is returning to fight this weekend in the same ring in Valencia…

Last weekend in Valencia, the Yamaha were more disappointing and moreover sanctioned while at Suzuki, the show of force was on the program. What will happen this Sunday on the same route of Valencia who could give the name of the new MotoGP World Champion? If this were the case, the name would be Joan mir, and not a fabio quartararo, pushed back to 37 points and in the fray for the gain of a runner-up place.

After pole position and second place last year, it's nothing to say that the first of the two Valencia Grand Prix this year has been a bitter disappointment for fabio quartararo. Initially, on the wet Ricardo Tormo circuit, the 21-year-old Frenchman never found the right feeling to assert himself on Friday and Saturday.

“I want to focus on having fun”

The starting position at 11^rd rank put him in a package from which he unfortunately escaped by a fall in the first lap of the race on Sunday. He still recovered to snatch the two points for 14th place. A very small consolation because, during this time, his rival Joan Mir celebrated his first victory.

« We had some problems in the race a few days ago, we will work on some tests for next weekend. I think we can improve the feeling and the rhythm », assures the pilot Petronas Yamaha about this weekend's deadline.

However, these 37 points behind leave the three-time winner of the season only a glimmer of hope: “ we are still fighting for the world title, but I want to focus on enjoying these last two races. And then we'll see what we can fight for. We are in second place in the championship and still have a very good chance of finishing the season well. », finishes the Frenchman.
