Dutch MotoGP of Assen: Fabio Quartararo “indestructible?” - “he could have got injured - disaster!”
The reigning world champion and favourite to retain his title this season uncওharacteristically clattered into Aleix Espargaro at the Dutch MotoGP on Sunday, then crashed a second time.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia won the race to move to 106 points in the standings (Quartararo stil♑l leads with 172).
“It was clearly a mistake from Fabio,” Guintoli said on BT Sport abo☂ut the first crash. “He tried the lunge from too far behind.
“Everybody makes mistakes, even the best.
“He was wide, he had nowhere to go. He tried to make the bike turn b🌳ut lost the front.
“So,ꦐ we thought Fabio was indestructible and not vulnerable.
“But this is bike racing. You can make everything feel comfortabl⭕e then, bang! Everything is out of order.
“He could hav𝔍e got injured in that crash which would have been a disas🐠ter.
“The season is still long. We have some tracks now where Peꦜcco is strong - Misano, Aragon, then all the aways.
“If you have an injury, you are on the back foot.
“Going into the break for Fabio and Dꦓucati, it is a boost.ꦡ”
Quartararo was൩ told to resume racing after his first crash then, after falling again, was visibly frustrated.
Michael La⛎verty told BT Sport why the Yamaha rider was sent back out to the track: “[To earn] one or two points on the board. They would have kicked themselves if he pulled into the garage but could have salvaged points.
“Fabio didn’t want to do i𝐆t. The bike was damage, his tyres had cooled, maybe a sensor k♔nocked off.
“The bike was🌟 rigid, the kickback threw him over the handlebars.
“It could have [broken] his collarbone.”
Fabio Quartararo: We spoke about being calm but I was the opposite
A brutally honest Quartararo reacted to BT Sport to his two crashes: “A rౠookie mistake. It was only the third lap and I acted like it was the last one!
“It was totally my mistake.
“⛎I apologise to Aprilia and to Alei༒x for [putting] him out of the track.
“I thought there was a problem but the team told me to stop because the rainꩵ was supposed to come.
“It was normal to go and see him. He w💎as the man of the race, amazing pace.
“It is normal to go and🥃 apologise in this situatio♕n.
“The only thing is the mistake in this race which was super-stupid. 🤪Of course I am happy but this race made me angry.
“I could have fought for victory but made a stupid mistake. I wil𝕴l learn from it.
“▨We spoke before the race about being calm but I was the opposite.”
