Since the start of the season, Yamaha has only seen Fabio Quartararo, constantly battling for podiums and victories as he competed against the various Ducati. With 14 laps already completed, the Frenchman leads a championship with 48 points for Francesco Bagnaia, in which Johann Zarco and Jack Miller occupy the last places in the top 5. At the same time, Franco Morbidelli is 17th in the overall standings and Valentino Rossi is at the gates of the top 20.
Given that Quartararo is the only Yamaha to compete for the Desmosedici, the rider was asked if that fact could change the course of the championship against him. The # 20 started by talking about the Misano race and eventually admitted that it would be an advantage if the other Yamahas had better racing pace a little apart from what happens to the Ducati.
“That’s right, because in the beginning when I saw Pecco go, I fought Jack” [Miller] and [Jorge] Martin. It wasn’t easy, because overtaking a Yamaha – Yamaha versus Yamaha – is one thing, we have more or less the same acceleration, but when you have different bikes … I caught «Pecco» in sectors one and four, but it was like that I after sector one he moved away from sectors two and three. Not just because of the engine, because on turns 11 and 12 the “Pecco” was better than everyone else. This is not about power and that was it [a race] Run a little, catch, run and catch. It’s true that more support would be from Yamaha … I don’t mean from a technical point of view, but from the riders. Let’s see we have a few things to try in the test. We’re fighting so hard to overtake and it depends on the corner. Bends like five and six, where you change direction, are good, but they are bends that you normally cannot get past, ”said the driver at a press conference after the race on Sunday.
