After seeing Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia crash out ahead of him, Quartararo was gifted the chance to stand on the podium for the first ti🍃me since COTA.

Quartararo looked poised to claim third before Martin ran int🍒o issues with his leather, whi𒁏ch saw a 1.4 second margin drop to sixth tenths.

Martin the🔯n recovered the time lost but made a mistake at turn three on the final, this time allowing Quartararo to not only catch him but overtake him.

Martin then produced a very aggressive mo🔯ve around turn six, as he swiped across the front of Quartararo’s Yamaha. 

"Was really difficult to bꦍe honest," said Quartararo after the race𝕴. "Especially the last lap. I was always one-and-a-half/two seconds away from the top guys that were Pecco and Jorge. 

"Marco [Bezzecchi] was really far away. But on the last lap I could really see our we𝓀ak point more and more. 

"We have to work on that part and hopefully we can make a step next year. We ca♛n’t really fight with them. We can ಌhold the pace but we cannot really fight."

Quartararo 🐭also spoke about the near-ꦓmiss with Martin, however the 2021 world champion avoided criticising the Spaniard. 

The Frenchman added: "I saw that he🐻 was doing something strange with the leathers and thought it was maybe arm pump or something. 

"But I could see what happened to him. The drive I had out of turn five was super bad. I was spi💯nning like hell. 

"I was trying to control it with the gas but unfortunately I had💙 nothing more on the tyre. With the grip issues we are h✅aving I could not give more of a fight. 

"Also goinꦕg into turn ten I didn’t have the confidence. But I can be happy. Marco was on anotꩵher level and yesterday Jorge won the sprint race; we weren’t able to really fight but we are getting closer."
