Sunday took place the last Grand Prix of the MotoGP season in Barcelona. At the end of the weekend, Jorge Martín was crowned world champion for the first time in his career and the Spanish driver from Pramac was able to celebrate this success, despite a 100% success for Francesco Bagnaia. The latter, however, failed by 10 points in the general classification and he abandoned his title in favor of the Martinator. For Fabio Quartararo, this Grand Prix put an end to a rather delicate 2024 season but the Frenchman, 11th on Sunday, nevertheless recorded a significant improvement during this final GP of the season.
The great improvement of Quartararo and Yamaha in Barcelona
Because it turns out that the 2021 world champion fell behind the winner who was the weakest of the year for him. It is therefore a sign of the progress made by Yamaha during the season. El Diablo saw the finish 10.756 behind the winner, which represented his narrowest delay of the year at the checkered flag.We clearly know what we're lacking, we know what we need to improve, but I think I managed to have one of my best races. We only finished ten seconds from the front, even if the position is not very good. I think we can be satisfied with the race we achieved“, confided the Frenchman after crossing the finish line on Sunday. He now knows that he is getting closer to the leading bikes and that is why he is aiming high next season, he who wants to fight for the top 5. He will have a first indication of this possibility or not from this Tuesday, with the test day which will allow him to see progress or not.Tuesday will be really important for me, to really see if the new engine is more powerful or not“, confided the Niçois, in a hurry to do this day of testing today.
