Japanese manufacturers Yamaha and Honda have slipped badl✱y behind their Eu💟ropean counterparts, despite boasting 2019 champion Marquez and 2021 champion Quartararo.

At the Sachsenring, so often a favourite of Marquez’s, he fell five times before the gran𒈔d prix and withdrew just hours before, one of his bleakest moments in MotoGP.

"For me, a race ꦡthat had a great impact on me was the Sachsenring, especially the Sprint Race,” Quartararo said to .

“I take the examp♛le of Marc because for me he ✤is the reference of motorcycling.

"At Sachsenring he won all the races that he has [entered], and this year in the S▨print he i🅺s ninth and tenth. 

“I do🐎n't think he has forgo𓄧tten to ride in one year.

“You see that m♍any times the bike is much more important than the rider.”

Quartararo compared the Yamaha to the Honda: "We ♒have some worse points and some better points.

"How our bike reacts is not🎃 as aggressive as the Honda. 🐎;

“Each one has its points🥀, but right now there are many things that make it🧸 difficult for us to fight for the front positions."

Quartararo only missed out on a second consecutive MotoGP title at the🦄 final round of 2022, but realistically Yamaha’s decline behind the Ducati started a year ago.

The gap has dramatically widened this year.

"I have not reacted quickly enough to change a𒐪s 🐼a rider,” Quartararo said. 

“The bike we have right ℱnow is n🌊ot to win, but I mentally wanted to win.

"In the end, when you are already at 100%, you 🐻want to give more.

“Th൲is first part [of the season] I should have learned a lot more than I have learned, which has been nothing.

"I should have learned from my mistakes, fro💞m 🅰the experience that we have to gain in difficult moments. 

“I want to change this second part, I꧃ want to give my 100% without really looking at the result.”

Quartararo has already insisted that 𝔉the Misano test, where Yamaha can debut their 2024 plans, will gi♌ve him the evidence he needs to plot his long-term future.
