Following his crash during Saturday’s Sprint at Assen, Fabio Quartararo expressed that Yamaha is currently “not ready” to secure a victory on the following day, despite starting from pole position in the qualifying round.

In his post-Sprint interview on Saturday, Quartararo shared his belief that while various elements need to fall into place for a potential victory, Yamaha is still not at the level to secure a win just yet. Despite acknowledging their competence in challenging races like Silverstone, he remains hopeful for a competitive advantage. The French rider remains resolute in giving his all, acknowledging the higher crash frequency this season as a consequence of his unwavering commitment to achieving victory.
Acknowledging his determination to win, Quartararo attributes the increased number of crashes this season to his relentless pursuit of success. He views these incidents as a byproduct of consistently riding at the absolute limit, reflecting his unwavering drive to perform and emerge victoriously.
