Quartararo leads the 2022 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings by just two points ahead of Bagnaia with just♑ three races left, heading to Phillip Island.

Yamaha rider Quartararo could find himself surrounded by an army of red bikes which could hand the MotoGP title to Ducati’s Bagnaia.

“I know 𝓰my potential,” Bagnaia warned. “I know that I can winꦜ without help in a race.

“For sure, in the last two races of the championship🦄, some help would help me!

“But I have won six races because I was the strongest, not because somebody let me pa🅺ss.

“Tea🐭m orders are good, for sure. But it is not♔ for the moment.”

Bagnaia has won double the amo🌜unt of races this season than Quartararo.

The Frenchman, who won his maiden title last season, has not won in the past seven races - during wh♓ich Bagnaia has won four.

“Fabio, for sure, is the man to beat,” Bagna🅺ia🔴 said. “He is one of the strongest riders and the world champion from last year.

“But I am in a better situation than Fabio.

“I feel great with my bike, I can push, I can attack. Heꦅ struggles more with his bike.

It is true that our bike is more complete.”
