Unexpected issue made Fabio Quartararo’s Yamaha “unrideable” in Aragon MotoGP sprint
Fabio Quartararo struggled to 11th place in the MotoGP Aragon Grand Prix sprint due to unexpected rear chatter issues with his Yamaha bike, making it “unrideable.”
The 2021 world champion had trouble with rear traction throughout practice and qualifying, managing to advance to Q2 and secure the 9th starting position on the grid.
Despite a near-miss incident with Maverick Vinales, Quartararo’s Yamaha became increasingly difficult to ride during the sprint, hampered by the rear chatter that worsened with each lap.
