“Seeing 1’22 ”on the dashboard was really nicee ”, admits Quartararo, even if this time is not in the overall standings due to a small mistake that brought him off the track and canceled his best lap that would have put him on pole. But the Frenchman from Yamaha still took a front row seat, the last place behind Martin and Bagnaia.
“This is an important result,” he said. “I struggled to stop the bike today. Turn three was particularly critical for me, at least until this morning. Then I managed to develop myself further in FP3, right at the end. “
It won’t be easy for him at this point against the Ducatis who surround him on the grid. It is difficult to come up with a strategy. Actually, the best solution for Fabio doesn’t seem to be a strategy.
“If we drive in dry conditions, it will be a lot better for me. But when it’s wet it’s for everyone and we are here to work and get the best position. I have a good feeling on a completely wet track. In the end, it’s best not to have one, you can look at the weather forecast and think about what to do in the different conditions, but then everything always changes after the first turn. The only thing is to choose the right tire and have fun.”
Unless it’s raining really hard, because then the race could be postponed to Monday.
“It all depends on how much water is in the third corner. That is a dangerous point“, Explained Quartararo. “Even though it wasn’t very wet yesterday, everyone risked falling there. In any case, I stay in Austria between one GP and the next. So if we’re racing on Monday, that’s not a problem. “
Fabio also commented on Pedrosa’s return to the race.
“When I signed up for MotoGP, it was a shame not to be able to ride with Dani. Now he’s decided on a wild card and it’s nice to see him out on the track. He rode here, but a test or a race is different. He rather impressed me. He’s a legend and he’s doing really well.”
