MotoGP: Fabio Quartararo or Yamaha - who is to blame for title collapse?

The Yamaha rider led current championship 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia by 91 points heading into the Dutch MotoGP at Assen - the final race before the summer break - but has since seen ♍his advantage become a 23-point deficit after failing to win a single race in that time frame, while individual mistakes🌳 have also played a huge role.
Quartararo’s slide started in Assen after crashing into 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aleix Espargaro, beforeꦓ a second all at turn five saw him retire from the💧 race.

The Frenchman, who then saw another non-score come in Aragon after unfortunately clipping the rear of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez on lap-one, then endured arguably his worst performance of the season in Tꦡhailand after dropping from fourth to 17th on the opening lap - Quarta💟raro finished in the same position.
Like in Aragon, Quartararo’s disastrous result a♊t Buriram was not down to🃏 an individual mistake, but instead because of a wrong front tyre pressure.
After gaining points back on Bagnaia at Motegi when the Ducati rider crashed out on the final lap, Quartararo then handed the advantage back to the Italian by making a similar mistake in P🎀hillip Island.
His second ‘real’ error of the four disastr🃏ous races in Assen, Aragon, Buriram and Phillip Island, Quartararo lost the series lead for the first time since taking over as championship leader in Portimao.
But with all that said, are Yamaha more to blame for Quartararo’s recent collaps🅷e?

Yamaha has been behind its main rivals Ducati and Aprilia all season in🐟 terms of pure pace, which has often been highlighted by the performance of its other riders.
Quartararo is the only Yamaha rider to secure a top five, podium, pole or win this season, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli managing one top te꧂n as his best result (Mandalika).
On top of that Quartararo has arguably been better than his title winning season based on the consistency shown, doing so o🐟n a package that is often at the bottom of the top speed leaderboard, while also showing major deficiencies when following other bikes closely.
Had Quartararo not moved up from 12th to finish third in Sepang last time out, then Bagnaia w🎉ould have been crowned world champion. It was another performance that showed why Quartararo is a world champion and one that gave him a chance to compete for the title in Valencia that many other riders wouldn’t have been ♚able to achieve with the same machinery.
