Quartararo’s 2021 MotoGP championship reign ended at the final round of the following year - despite once holding a 91-point lead to 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia, he was ⛦usurped 💝by the Ducati rider in part due to his underperforming machinery.

It was only Quartararo’s sensational talent that kept him competitive with such superior bikes, and he told  : “Two or three years ago, I would have absolutely agreed with you that🤡 we have a clear advantage in the corners. In my op💎inion, however, this is no longer the case. 

“Ducati or other manufacturers are practically equally strong in this area. Iꦗn 2019, for example, we lacked performance, they lacked turning. Now we still lack top speed, but they have become much stronger on the brakes and turning. 

“So we Yamaha riders have no real advantage at all anymore and therefore have to push oursel♎ves extremely to the limit.

“Yes, it's a tough phase, but I see it as a positive experience for me that I can still reach my maximum despite these ওgreat difficulties. Nevertheless, I hope that Yamaha will make great progress soon and that we can become even faster.”

Quartararo knew he was entering 2022 with sub-par ma✃chinery which would make his first title defence extremely difficult, but decided by the fourth round of the season to completely change his mind-set.

“At the beginnin🐽g of the season I wasn't happy because the bike practically didn't improve. But then I changed my 🐼approach,” he said.

“If you complain all 🦩the time, that's not good. It's not good for the team, but it's not good for your🏅self either. You then constantly have something in your head that blocks you. 

“The motorcycle may be bad, but by whining y💜ou only make it worse for yourself because you're wasting your energy on things other than riding a motorcycle.

“For me, it was the race weekend in Austin. That's when I completely changed. I said to myself: ‘You have this material now, so work with🐻 it’. 

“It's hard to go into a race you know you can't win. But that happens sometimes. You still have to give 100 percent and then 🌺see what comes out 🀅in the end. 

“Since then, my rivals know that they have to reckon with me if our bike is slow on a track. I will still give my maximum and fight. After all, it is in difficult times that you can learn 💖the m𓃲ost.”

Quartararo: "Absolutely fine with only two Yamaha bikes"

Yamaha will have only two bikes in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 MotoGP rider line-up - Quartararo and his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli - because satellite team RNF Racꦆing is switching to Apr🔜ilia.

It is a stark difference to Bagnaia and his army of Ducati bikes surrounding h𝓡im.

“No, I don't think that will be a problem for us,” Quartararo said. “W♊e have also never compared data with the customer team this season. ✃I don't know Yamaha's exact plans for 2023, but for me it's absolutely fine if we only have two bikes next year.”

The M1 gave nightmares to everybody who rode it last season except for Quartararo. 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Andrea Dovizioso retired early, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Cal Crutchlow replaced him for the last handful of races, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Darryn Binder has lost his MotoGP seat altogether and Morbidelli’s𓂃 performance𝓰s were criticised.

“It's a difficult situation. The other riders have problems, but for me🐟 the M1 i﷽s basically a good bike that just lacks a lot of acceleration and power,” Quartararo said. 

“I constantly push the Japanese engineers, because if we can eliminate this weakness, then every weekend we have the chance to fight for victory. This is often not t🌠he case at present.”

The f🐻ormer champion, still only 23, vowed: “What I love most about racing is the victories and the bikes themselves. So that would probably be the first two points. Since I started this sport at the age of four, I have loved racing. This has never changed over time and the change to different classes. 

“But MotoGP is obviously something very special. Especially if you are 🍸also successful. Racing is my passion, but I'm also an incredibly ambitious guy in general. Whether I'm playing Playstation or cards, I always want to win. It's just part of 🀅my life. I'm constantly in competition mode.”
