“This is the positive and the negative side,” a🙈✨n upset Quartararo told BT as Bagnaia went wild in the Ducati garage. “I had to turn off the TV in the box.
“The motivation is: we lost the title but I’ll be back, the team is working hard, and tﷺher🌱e’s no reason why we can’t fight for the title next year.
“When you lose a title like this, you must find a positive. Even if, right now, I feel 99 percent negative. The one perce🍸nt po🧜sitive is the next four months waiting for the first race. I will have more anger to train better and to fight hard in 2023.
“Of coursꦆe after the race I was emotional. I’m a fighter, ꧑a winner. I want to be in first position.
“The first 15 minutes after the race was tough.
