🗣 'Right now I don’t feel ready - and I don’t feel good on the bike' 😱 Fabio Quartararo warns his Yamaha MotoGP team that “we will not be ready for the first race” after a difficult test day in Portugal 👇
The 2021 world champion ended Saturday’s running at the Algarve circuit eighth overall, but over eight tenths off the pace of Ducati’sQuartararo concluded last month’s Sepang test claiming his 2023 Yamaha was “a nightmare” in qualifying trim, and now admits the bike struggled for pace in general on fresh rubber.
“The problem is not only the qualifying,” he said. “It’s also new tyres for the pace. I’m worried about the sprint races because, if we check compared to the top guys, when they put on a new tyre and we put on a new tyre, we are half a second slower. “For sure we will not be ready for the first race, that’s… I will not say 100%, because hopefully tomorrow we will have the solution.
“On the last day when I put on new tyres and the lap time was not coming, all the day I was riding bad. And today, even if it was bad I tried to stay more calm and tried to understand the way to ride the bike. But even like that it was difficult.”Quartararo says the problems he is facing on the Yamaha right now are in all areas aside from braking, which is “difficult to understand”.
