Fabio Quartararo says he doesn't know how he produced a lap in French Grand Prix practice on his Yamaha MotoGP bike to secure a place Q2.
For just the second time this season, Quartararo will make an appearance in the pole shootout qualifying session on Saturday after finishing Friday's running at his home round in 10th. While Yamaha brought a raft of changes to its bike for the Jerez test after the Spanish GP, only a few items – and not the swingarm he was hoping to run – have been brought to Le Mans.
