“This is the positive and the negative side,” an upset Quartararo told BT as Bagnaia went wild in ﷽the Ducati garage. “I had to tu💝rn off the TV in the box.

“The motivation is: we lost the title but I’ll be back, the team is working hard, and there’s no rea🃏son why we can’t fight for𓆉 the title next year.

“When you lose a title like this, you must find a positive. Even if, right now, I feel 99 percent negative. The one percent positive is the next four months waiting for the first race. I will have more anger to train better and to fig𒁏ht hard in 2023.

“Of course after the race I was emotional. I’m a f🧔ighter, a winner. I want to be🥃 in first position.

“The first 15 minutes after the race was tough.

“But it’s finished. We close🃏 the book. Start a new chapter beginning on Tuesday.”

Yamaha rider Quartararo is hoping that Tuesday’s test in Valencia reveals upgrades on a bike that ultim𒐪ately cost him the pace to defend the title he won a year ago.
