Quartararo’s 2021 MotoGP championship reign ended at the final round of the following year - despite once holding a 91-point lead to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, h꧋e was usurped by the Ducati rider in part due to his underperforming machinery.

It was only Quartararo’s sensational talent that kept him competitive with such superior bikes, and he told  : “Two or thꦡree years ago, I would have absolutely agreed with you that we have a clear advantage in the corners. In my opinion, however, this is no longer the case. 

“Ducati or 🦋other manufacturers are practically equally strong in this area. In 2019, for example, we lacked performance, they lacked turning. Now we still lack top speed, but they have become much stronger on the brakes and turning. 

“So we ওYamaha riders have no real advantage at all anymore and therefore have 🉐to push ourselves extremely to the limit.

“Yes, it's a tough phase, but I see it as a positive experie🐽nce for me that I can still reach my maximum d✅espite these great difficulties. Nevertheless, I hope that Yamaha will make great progress soon and that we can become even faster.”

Quartararo knew he was entering 2022 with sub-par machinery which would make his first title defence extremely difficult, but dec𓃲ided by the fourth round of the season to completely change his mind-set.

“At the beginning of the season I wasn't happy because the bike p♔ractically didn't improve. But then I changed my approach,” he said.

“If you complain all the time, that's not good. It's not good for the ✨team, but it's not good 🏅for yourself either. You then constantly have something in your head that blocks you. 

“The 💧motorcycle may be bad, but by 🐠whining you only make it worse for yourself because you're wasting your energy on things other than riding a motorcycle.

“For me, it was the race weekend in Austin. That's when I completely changed. I said to myself: ‘You have this material now꧒, so ♐work with it’. 

“It's hard to go into a rac෴e you know you can't win. But that happens sometimes. You still have to give 100 percent and then see what comes out in the end. 

“Since then, my rivals know that they have to reckon with me if our bike is slow on a track. I will still give my maximum and fight. After all, it is in difficult times that you can le🥀arn the most.”

Quartararo: "Absolutely fine with only two Yamaha bikes"

Yamaha will have only two bikes in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 MotoGP rider line-up - Quartararo and his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli - because satellite team RNF Racing is ♏switching to A🌱prilia.

It is a stark difference to B𒊎agnaia and his army of Ducati bikes surrounding him.

“No, I don't think that will be a problem for us,” Quartararo said. “We have also never compared da💃ta with the customer team this season. I don't know Yamaha's exact plans for 2023, but for me it's💯 absolutely fine if we only have two bikes next year.”

The M1 gave nightmares to everybody who rode it last season except for Quartararo. 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Dovizioso retired early, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Cal Crutchlow replaced him for the last handful of races, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Darryn Binder has lost his Moto🌳GP seat a🌟ltogether and Morbidelli’s performances were criticised.

“It's a difficult situation. The other riders have prob𓄧lems, but for me the M1 is basically a good bike that just lacks a lot of acceleration and power,” Quartararo said. 

“I constantly push the🌼 Japanese engineers, because if we can eliminate this weakness, then every 𝓰weekend we have the chance to fight for victory. This is often not the case at present.”

The former champion, still only 23, vowed: “What I love most about racing is the victories and the bikes t𝐆hemselves. So that would probably be the first two points. Since I started this sport at the age of four, I have loved racing. This has never changed over time and the change to different classes. 

“But MotoGP is obviously something very special. Especially if you are also successful. Racing is my passion, but I'm also an incredibly ambitious guy in general. Whether I'm playing Playstati꧋on or cards, I always want toꩲ win. It's just part of my life. I'm constantly in competition mode.”
