Fabio Quartararo is the leader of the MotoGP world championship standings as half-time has just been whistled in this season. A situation which is not new for the Frenchman who already led the general classification last year. But this time, everyone agrees that we are dealing with another pilot. He even holds the Yamaha house on his shoulders, so much so that he instills doubt in his fellow brand members. Livio Suppo gives his opinion on this situation which takes the Frenchman into another dimension…
No introduction Livio Suppo, Racing Consultant whose career in MotoGP has led him to occupy the highest responsibilities with the paddock's flagship manufacturers, which also means rubbing shoulders with the most prominent riders. An experience on which he relies to judge thus fabio quartararo after the first nine Grands Prix of the year: “ I was surprised by Quartararo's growth after the many ups and downs of the past year. It has improved more than Yamaha ". To make himself understood on this point, the Italian specifies: “ if there were only Maverick Viñales and Valentino Rossi, in Iwata, they would be in serious problems. Fabio is leading the championship despite the problems he had, his arm and his suit, so I see him in very good shape ».
An observation which is also the start of a series of compliments: “ to this day, it is undoubtedly the most complete and consistent. MotoGP is currently very difficult.

More than tires and everything else, I think it's the performance leveling that makes it difficult to maintain consistency. And today, only Fabio found it ».

In any case, there are now two favorable tracks for Ducati and if a few KTMs also come between them and Quartararo, the championship could be relaunched. It would be great for the fans, because if Fabio also won on this other track so favorable to Ducati, it would be a big blow for everyone ».
suppo also states that Marc Marquez could also be a rival for Quarterly, but indirectly: “ on certain circuits, he could really put Quartararo in difficulty. It remains to be seen whether Fabio is ready to think about the championship or if he wants to push hard. Which, perhaps, could lead you to make a mistake. It will be fun and I don't think Ducati's chances are completely gone ". A conclusion that the current second in the championship certainly endorses: Johann zarco...
