Quartararo says he could not 'overtake at all' on the Yamaha in the JapaneseGP, leaving him frustrated even as he gained ground on both his MotoGP title rivals.
As a result, Quartararo now leads the championship by 18 points despite struggling to advance on eighth in the race.
“With all the circumstances and with what happened, of course I would say it’s better to take eight points than lose eight points,” Quartararo said. “But to fight with Marc [Marquez], Miguel [Oliveira was possible]. But I cannot overtake at all, I’m behind and we ride in a totally different way to the other riders.“So, it’s frustrating because I could go faster, but no.
