“On the limit” Fabio Quartararo: “Better to crash from 6th than 12th”
Fabio Quartararo: "We made a massive change on t🌸he bike, I think it was pretty g💯ood"
There was a collective sigh from the almost 120,000 Le Mans fans when home hero 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo crashed out of a season-best sixth place in Sunday’s French MotoGP race.
The Monster Yamaha rider, using a special one-off livery, revealed the team had made a massive change to his M1 for warm-up,💟 which he kept for the grand prix.
Quartararo slipped from eighth to tenth place🔯 in the early laps but, at the time of his accident, was nine places ahead ofꦜ the next best Japanese machine, of countryman Johann Zarco (15th).
“Yes, on the limit, but I feel better to crash when I’m P6 than P12,” Quartararo told TNT sports. “So today was a good day. We were pretty fast, so hopefullyꦜ we can carry on and feel that speed during the next races.
“This morning ♕we made a massive change on the bike, it was quite positive and during the race I was running this bike and I think it was pretty good.
“Unfortunately, we crashed, but it was the first time this year that we've seen the leadersౠ th🐠at close. So hopefully we can have more races like that.”
Quartara🍷ro set the ninth fastest race lap, 0.579s from the race best by Enea Bastianini (Ducati).
The Frenchman and team-mate Alex Rins, who finished 15th on Sunday, will now head straight for a privat♐e test at Mugello before round six of the season at Catalunya.
