When 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo ran out of fuel in the final corners of the Emilia Romagna MotoGP race, it cost him a season-best fifth place.

However the Monster Yamaha rider still had the𒁃 consolation of a competitive weekend and, as a past winner of 11 MotoGP races and the 2021 world title, slipping two places to seventh wasn’t a disaster.

“I'm still super happy about how the race went. This is by f🍎ar one of the best GPs we've had this year,” said Quartararo.

But the atmosphere was much frostier a💯fter a repeat of the fuel problem at Motegi on Sunday, where a frustrating weekend concluded with Quartararo spluttering across the finish line and losing eleventh to Honda’s Johann Zarco.

“Two times in three races, I think is a bit too much,” Quartararo said of the fuel problem. “Already just before the 💝bridge I started to feel [it run out] and then out of the last corner the bike just stopped.”

The Frenchman added that he had no warning of low fuel until it was 't🐎oo late'.

“For me, it's just that they are not still OK with the electronics. I think the strategy💃 [with the fuel] is not working, clearly,” he explained.

“Also the lights in t♔he dashboard. This is the main problem. The lights on the dashboard are not🦄 working as we expect. So this is why the light appeared when I was without fuel. It's too late!”

After equalling 🐲his and Yamaha’s season-best of seventh in the previous three rounds, a lack of 𒅌rear grip at Motegi made the team’s home event a miserable experience.

“It was a really tough weekend,” said Quartararo. “I felt like I was with a use🅠dܫ tyre from the first lap [of the grand prix]. I didn't feel any grip from the beginning and this was something that we can't understand.

“Our [grip] depends way too much from 𝓀the track and not from the bike.”

Team-mate🐟 Alex Rins endured similar woes on his way to 16🌺th, ahead of only Yamaha wild-card Remy Gardner.
