Fabio Quartararo: “Great Sprint”, targets season-best top six
"To see the first🍌 guys not super far away makes me happy. I think th💜at the steps we are making are great.”
A ‘happy’ 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo hailed a ‘great’ race after splitting a top 14 of European machines in the Emilia Romagna MotoGP Sprint.
The Monster Yamaha rider made up early ground from ninth on the gr𝐆id, got the better of VR46 Ducati rider Marco Bezzecchi after a hard battle, then spent the closing stages trying to pass the factory KTM of Brad Bi😼nder.
Quartararo couldn’t 🍎quite make the move, but the exp♓erience also outlined exactly where the M1 needs to improve.
“It was a great Sprint race.ꦅ I enjoyed it on the bike today,” said Quart🐈araro, riding at the scene of his 2021 title triumph.
“We could not try to put in an overtake on Brad. Unfortunately, w🦂e miss a lot the engine power, especially in the race.
“The main thing we m🌼iss to go fꩲaster in qualifying is grip, and to be faster in the race - and fight - we miss power.
“So we have to improve that and hopefully we can fiಞnd it soon. But at least I'm enjoꦫying on the bike and to see the first guys not super far away makes me happy.
“I think that the steps we are making are great.”
The Fre🀅nchman finished 8.405s from Ducati race winner Francesco Bagnaia, having been 11.015s from victory two weeks ago in the San Marino Sprint at the same track.
The next best non-European bꦜike was the top Honda of Luca Marini in 15th.
“We kept the same bike as yesterday, but it’s one month that we’ve been here at the same track [including tests]. So every time we get more data, more data, more data," Qua𝐆rtararo explained.
“We are only two bikes - this weekend only one!
“Ducati in one weekend get more data than we do in three or four races. So we have t🧔o see what happens when we go to a GP like Indonesia with no data. Let’s see if we can go fast from the first day.”
Before heading for Mandalika next weekend, Quartararo is aiming to secure𓃲 a season-bes꧅t top six in Sunday’s Emilia Romagna GP.
“Top six ♈is the target, i🔯t's quite difficult but I think we have the potential to do it,” he said.
Team-mate Alex Rins withdrew from the event on Saturday morniꦓng due to ಌsickness.
Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valent⛦ino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and 🌸Marc Marquez’s injury issues.
