fabio quartararo does not have to regret his departure from Moto3 and his challenge to join Moto2 after two lackluster seasons. This has been evident since this first Grand Prix of the year at Qatar, the Frenchman is made for this category. During the winter tests, he showed great disposition which he confirmed during an official meeting. Let it be said, El Diablo is out of his box again!
Qualified tenth, and therefore on the fourth row in the cumulative times of the practice sessions, the tricolor regretted the cancellation, due to rain, of the qualifications which could have guaranteed him a better outcome.
For his first start in Moto2, rider Sito Pons initially stammered his lines to slip down to fifteenth place. However, he was not discouraged and took his pace to take command with authority of the chasing pack in the leading group. Achieving performances worthy of a podium candidate, Fabio made his sixth place an entrenched camp.
Then came Marini, the half-brother of whom you know, to whom Fabio ended up giving up a few laps from the goal. Seventh for his first appearance at this level, the Frenchman marked his territory all the more as he had eclipsed the other beginners entered.
« It was a very good race » begins the one who finished almost 14 seconds behind the winner Morbidely. " It's a shame to have missed this start because in this category, we know that we have to catch the leading group from the start. If it goes away, we can't put it back together again. I was fifteenth and I was able to move up to sixth. I'm happy, this weekend was good because I was always in the top 10 ».
« We worked hard to achieve this goal, we always tried to improve something and this is my first race in Moto2. I can't wait to be in Argentina! » It will be for April 7th. fabio quartararo, at 17, resumed his march forward.
