Fabio Quartararo wasn’t happy with his Friday at the Valencia MotoGP
Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo described his Friday at the MotoGP Valencia Grand Prix as “not super nice” due to struggling to find his feeling on the M1 bike. The Japanese manufacturer is likely in its last MotoGP weekend with the inline-four bike before the V4 project in 2026. Despite solid performance on Friday, Quartararo faced challenges with bike setup, leading to a lack of front-end feeling. He aims to improve for the next day as confidence is low even on one lap, expressing the base set-up of the bike is unclear. Quartararo also faced a scare with his M1 bike smoking during Practice, needing to change leathers due to fuel pouring onto him, humorously saying he didn’t want to burn on the straight.
