Fabio Quartararo says the MotoGP Spanish Grand Prix sprint was “all or nothing” for hi♔m after qualifying on pole but “unfortunately it was nothing” after crashing in the lead battle.

The 2021 world champion put his Yamaha on pole on Saturday at Jerez for the first time since early in the 2022 campaign, well over 1100 days ago, with a new lap𒁏 record.

He ended 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez’s unbroken pole run in 2025 and battled with the championship leader early 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:in the 12-lap sprint.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo retღaliated at Turn 1 when his lead was briefly taken from him, before coming under siege again at Turn 6 on the se𒐪cond tour.

As M꧃arquez passed him, Quartararo crashed trying to hang on in the braking zone.

Despite the crash, Quartararo s💟ays simply leading the sprint was “super great mentally” given the struggles he has faced on the Yamaha in recent years

“For my confidence, it’s super great mentally,” he told MotoGP’s official website.

“It has been many years that I have not been leading a race, many years I didn’t make an overtake on Marc - even if i💖t was at the start.

“But at t♕he moment, we know we are good in one lap, still missing on the pace.

“🍨But today I wanted to give it all and it was all or nothing.

“Unfortunately it was nothing, but I fee𒁏l good mentall𝔉y I think it’s great for all the team to have this boost of being back leading a race.

“I felt that Marc was🌞 going to overtake me, 🌜my bike started to shake and I could not stop the bike and I lost the front.

“Also the grip compared to this morning was a little bit more critical and we know how important that is for us. 𒆙It’s something that we still have to work on.”

Quartararo has been fast all weekend on his factory M1, but admits his aim i🐓n qualifying was simply to get onto the second row rather than challenge for pole.

“Qualify🅰ing I didn’t expect ♔to be that fast,” he added.

“The goal, to be honest, was to be on the second row, and we ♓achieved it already on the first run.

“But I felt I had something more and being able to make this lap time is incredible. At the end it’s somet🍌hing that brings happiness to the🐎 team.”

Showing decent race pace during Friday’s Practice session, Quartararo is being looked at as a podium threat in Sunday’s grand prix - though he thinks fighting the Dꦓucatis isn’t his goal.

“I mean, trying 🍷to be with them is the goal - not to fight with them,” the Frenchman said.

“I think that is difficult. But try to 𝔉make a great start🔯, try to be in a great position and see if we can be there.”
