Quartararo struggled too much on “really bad” Qatar MotoGP Friday
Fabio Quartararo struggled in the dry practice on Friday, finishing 19th, 1.2 seconds behind the leader on the Pramac Ducati due to low-grip conditions on his Yamaha M1. His new team-mate, Alex Rins, was quicker but only managed to break into the top 15. With similar conditions expected for final practice and qualifying on Saturday, Quartararo faces the risk of starting from a low grid position. Quartararo expressed disappointment in his performance and the struggles faced in low-grip conditions in both wet and dry weather. Despite Yamaha’s efforts to improve the bike with new parts, Quartararo felt they didn’t deliver the expected performance during the Qatar GP practice.
