“He is the world champion. You cannot complain latඣer.”

“I half agree with him [𓂃that riders are not always listened to].

“It’s true that sometimes we’re asking for many things. For example, we’ve just been talki🐷ng about Phillip Island - to add some asphalt in some places for three years and nothing has happened yet.

“But in oth🅺er places, yes, in 🌜other things where we talk they’ve listened and tried to learn.

“Sometimes not even all the riders in the safety commission have🎃 the same opinion, so how can they follow one opinion? But they do their best.

“I was very disappointed when I saw the safety commission 𝓀of Malaysia✃. Everyone is free to go. I think it is a mistake to make it mandatory because everyone should want to go, to feel comfortable to bring their opinion to this situation.

“And if♚ you don’t, it’s better not𝄹 to come. But you miss something.”

Safety has become a major issue since Jorge Navarro, the Moto2 ride💞r, lay with a broken leg after crashing🐽 in Australia and the race was not red flagged.

Quartararo explained his stance: “I’ve been one time [in ☂2022] and I decided not to go anymore.”

Asked if he felt riders are listened to, he said: “We are not. A few times like the red flag incident in Austral🌺ia – many times.

“I have nothing against it, I’m just not really g🌞oing.”

Quartararo must win the Valencia MotoGP and hope 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia finishe💙s in P15 or lower to retain his championship.
