Fabio Quartararo has described his double crash in DutchGP as a 'really stupid rookie mistake' after suffering his first DNF in MotoGP since 2020.
Quartararo came into the pits on lap nine before returning to the circuit, but would crash again when he highsided exiting Turn 5 three laps later.
“I made a rookie mistake, I wanted to push too much from the beginning,” Quartararo said. “It's with these mistakes that you learn for the future, but it was a really stupid mistake. “I wanted to restart and try to score some points but I saw that the bike was a problem. I stopped, the team told me to restart in case of rain but when I restarted I could see that something was wrong.
