🗣️'Considering what happened to us from the beginning of the season, I think I’m pretty happy.' Fabio Quartararo is proud of his MotoGP title defence whatever happens in the Valencia GP finale, as he faces a 23-point deficit to Francesco Bagnaia ⬇️
The Yamaha rider trails Bagnaia by 23 points coming into Sunday’s final round of the season, so needs to win and hope his rival is 15th or lower to retain his crown.at Circuit Ricardo Tormo, missing pole by just under three tenths as Ducati’s Bagnaia was just over a tenth further back in eighth.
Looking back over his season and taking into account the problems he has faced with the Yamaha, after the marque was unable to use the 2022 engine it had developed due to reliability concerns in the winter, Quartararo is satisfied with his campaign regardless of the outcome.“I did some mistakes, we did some mistakes with the team. But considering what happened to us from the beginning of the season, I think I’m pretty happy and I learned many things this year.
“So, I’m feeling confident. Since Germany we don’t fight for any victory, so it will be super important for me to fight till the last lap.“So can’t wait for tomorrow. The feeling is hard, because it’s difficult, we are not having an easy bike. In Turn 1 the bike is shaking on the braking going in.” Quartararo says he will not have any information given to him by his team during the race concerning Bagnaia, and “doesn’t care” about the Italian right now.“It’s funny because on the TV it looks like it’s only me and him racing, but at the end I need to focus on myself.“We have a massive difference, so what matters for me is to win. And then what he does is not my problem.”
