MotoGP Indonesia J2, Fabio Quartararo (Yamaha Q6/S12) very bitter: “We have no strong point, it’s worse than in previous years”

Disillusionment for Fabio Quartararo in Indonesia. The good momentum started for some time seemed to continue at Mandalika, a track on which he achieved his last podium last year. Fast since Friday, Quartararo achieved the sixth time in Q2 earlier in the day, which suggested a good result in the Sprint. But in the short format, “El Diablo” could not resist the competition. Unable to overtake, he was heckled by his friends in a rather violent manner. He was unable to respond, which led to this understandable bitterness when he spoke out.

It was at the microphones of Canal + that Fabio Quartararo expressed his disappointment. As is often the case, it is the inability to fight that is the problem. « Cit’s always the same problems. We are making some progress, but we cannot compete in terms of pace. We’re stuck, we can’t even try to overtake. The only time I tried, I lost the front, I hit Morbidelli and we ended up 12th. We had the pace for fifth place, and we find ourselves so far away. We can’t understand why »
said the 2021 MotoGP world champion.

Yamaha’s current situation is very frustrating, because the progress is there, yes, but that of the competition is even more notable. “These are the same difficulties as in previous years. We have no strong points, it’s even worse than before because the others have made enormous progress. We can’t want to fight and be so far away on obvious things” added the man from .

Tomorrow, Quarta’ will try to get back on track and gain better positions. For the moment, he is quite pessimistic. “In conditions like this, it’s going to be complicated. We can’t even prepare to overtake. We’re really struggling with the medium, but if we manage to get a good start, and not get stuck behind a few drivers, then there is an interesting result to be sought. »
he concluded.
