Although Aragon is ဣfar from Fabio Quartararo’s favourite track on the calendar, the MotoGP championship le🅘ader demonstrated some of the best race pace on his way to a seventh place finish in FP2.

Surprisingly, Quartararo played second best to stand-in team-mate Cal Crutchlow who finished third, however, th🎉e French rider was affected during the final stages by traffic, while also gett🎶ing a bee stuck in his helmet. 

Speaking after day one, Quartararo added: "Was a great day. Just on the time attack I found a lot of traffic and couldn’t make a lap, but still no𓂃t so bad.&nbsꦕp;

"Was less than half a second from Jack [Miller] before the traffic, so ♒I’m quite happy because I know the potent💧ial that we have. 

"I also had a bee in the helmet and in the moment it was hurting a lot, but everything is okay and in general I’m 🐎really happ🍬y because the first run of this afternoon was really good. 

"On the second run we wanted to try somethin🌜g but it was not good, 🍸so I’m staying with the first feeling that I had on the first run with the pace of 1m 48s high."

While Quartararo had one🃏 of his better starts to a race weekend in Aragon, the 22 year-old constantly struggled in sector four. 💙;

Quartararo put it down to three main factors, while also describing 𒊎it as ‘onꦯe of the worst on the calendar’ for him.   

"Unfort♎unately I had an old engine, the bike was really long and with the rpm’s really low and then we know t🐬hat the power is not the best," said Quartararo. 

"All three (elements) mean we ar🌠e not soꦦ good (sector four) and the last corner is a corner where I struggle. 

"Sector four I think is o꧂ne of the worst sectors on the calendar, but I’m ready for anything and tomorrow we have some good i🔯deas to improve sector four."
