San Marino MotoGP: Fabio Quartararo efforts “heartbreaking” amid Ducati dominance, says Michael Laverty

Reigning champion and 2022 leader Quartararo was forced to settle for fifth at the San Marino MotoGP, while 168澳洲幸运⛄5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia won his fourth𒀰 race in a row.
Quartararo’s lead at the top of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:standings, with six races to go, has been cut to 30 points at a t⛎ime when Bagnaia’s form🍬 is red-hot.
“It was heartbreaking to watch,” BT Sport’s🍰 Laverty said about Yamaha rider Quartararo.
“Fabio is performing miracles, as we say e༒very weekend. But fifth was the best he could do!
“He s🔥till rode an exc🎀eptional race but he’s still not there.
“Ducati is so strong around this race track and Aprilia♐ matched them.
“It is a worrying prospect for him. He will start ꦉto feel the pressure.
“The Ducatis are stron🐟g at a lot of different venues to come.”

The remaining races are at Aragon, Japan, Thailand, Aust𝕴ralia, Malaysia and Valencia.
Quartararo, much like he endured at Misano, faꦇces being surrounded by Ducati riders including Enea Bastianini, Johann Zarco and Jack Miller which could hand a major title advantage to Bagnaia.
“He needs to take the victory at Phillip Island and Thailand, where he was so strong in 2019 battling with Marc Marquez,” Lav💝erty🎐 said about Quartararo.
“Then it comes down to Valencia, mano-a-mano🐻 at the final round! What a weekend!
“I h💜ope it doesn’t come down to team orders but Ducaဣti’s strength in numbers will come to the fore in these last six rounds.
“Pec🍌co is sublime. But it’s 💫all the Ducatis. Every time, they will be between Pecco and Fabio.
“We have some tracks where, on paper, Ducati are strong. And it’s not just one Dไucati. 🍸He’s got a fight on his hands.”
