After the strong start from the front row, Fabio Quartararo wasn't able to maintain his lead over his rivals. He even seemed to be, during the first half of the Grand Prix, the most troubled driver of the leading group. With the best exit from the grid, the Yamaha rider was passed by Aleix Espargaro and Marc Marquez at the first corner. Sixth after 9 laps, he didn't lose his temper and agreed to let the victory slip past him. Better to deal with the situation, rather than try everything and go wrong.
Descended to sixth row, he emerges victorious from elbows to elbows with the drivers behind him. Fabio Quartararo kept a good pace in the race, he didn't panic and improved the pace at the end of the race. Climbing up to third position about ten laps from the finish, Fabio Quartararo then firmly defended his position, resisting the Ducati riders behind him. A third position on the podium will allow him to maintain valuable points where he could have lost some.
"This morning we saw that one of our weak spots was Sector 2. I knew we were going to have a hard time and that's what happened. I was extremely slow in Turns 6 and 7. The rest was fine but I was in a lot of pain in those turns where you stay a long time overall. With the team we said ‘Ok we have a good pace but fighting for the victory is going to be very difficult’. The aim was to finish ahead of the Ducati riders, try to make a podium, and we did. It's a good job because we were struggling, with a different feeling from the previous races. " FABIO QUARTARARO
