Quartararo “can enjoy” riding again with alternate Thailand MotoGP tyre
To deal with the high temperatures at the Buriram track, Michelin brought slightly harder rear tires. These tires have also been used in other races like India and Indonesia, where Quartararo performed well. Quartararo was able to enter Q2 qualifying after finishing eighth overall on Friday with the help of these tires. He mentioned that the different tire casing used by Yamaha hindered their rivals more than it hindered Yamaha, allowing him to have a better pace. Quartararo struggled in Australia but has found better corner speed in Buriram, where he can bring energy to the bike through braking. He believes that if he can qualify well, he can fight for a top-five position or even a podium finish. Quartararo also tested Yamaha’s twin exhaust system but didn’t see any improvement.
