Quartararo baffled by “crazy” MotoGP practice form in Australia
After a strong podium finish at the Indonesian GP, the 2021 world champion, Fabio Quartararo, anticipated a tougher weekend at Phillip Island. However, he could only manage 17th place after Friday’s running, leaving him completely baffled. Quartararo admitted that he has “no chance” of progressing into Q2 during qualifying. He identified the difficulty in turning the bike as their biggest struggle, comparing it to previous years where turning was their strong point. Quartararo expressed frustration with the inconsistency of the Yamaha’s performance, going from a frontrunner in Indonesia to struggling in Australia. He mentioned that the tire is not affecting them as much as it is affecting others in a positive way, making it difficult for them to be consistent.
