Fabio Quar♒tararo had to settle for third during qualifying for the Aragon MotoGP, even though the Yamaha man to🤪ok provisional pole after the opening run. 

Quartararo put in a stunning 1:46.727s lap time to leapfrog the🍰 three Ducati’s of Jorge Martin, Francesco Bagnaia and Jack Miller at the🦂 beginning of Q2.

And while Quartararo looked like improving that time on eachꩲ of his next three laps, it was Bagnaia who did so to take pole. 

Quartararo eventually lost out on P2 🎐as Miller got a slipstream from the Yamaha rider during his𒁏 final lap. 

Whether it’s💞 bee𝓡n time-attack or race pace, Quartararo has looked like a potential podium challenger or even race winner at times, however, the Achilles heel being the final corner continues to bring with it certain problems. 

It’s certainly a surprise given the nature of the corner which is about being deep on the brakes but also carrying corner speed - two ꧑areas Quartararo and the M1 Yamaha have been so strong at in 2021. 

But when speaking about what’s the main issue, Quartararo called it a ‘combiꩲnation’ of the bike and himself.  

"Sector four is a sector that okay; the Yamaha is not that great but I’m doing something wrong on the last co♏rner too," added the 22 year-ol💃d. 

"🧜So, I think it’s a combination of everything as to why I’m slow on that sector. But, we will see. 

"Always we try something ꦛin the FP2, FP3, FP4 and the pace of FP2 was a little bit better. 

"So, tomor🐭row morning we will go out on the base setting and I will try to work on my riding style in the last corner.”

Quartararo said he was also surprised b꧃y Ducati’s pace after they struggled at Aragon in 2020.  

Quartararo said: "I knew in one lap that I was pretty fast here. L🦹ast year we made a pole position in the first race, but the Ducati’s were not that fa𝓰st last year. 

"I think that’s also a point that I didn’t expect, but I’m really happ✨y about that lap time because it’s the maximum I could get."
