Fabio Quartararo clashes with Yamaha boss - then breaks down twice at Indian MotoGP

And his mood will not have improved on the opening day of ꦐthe Indian ไMotoGP as he broke down twice with mechanical problems.
𝔍He had already expressed surprise that Yamaha’s team manager appeared please with the 2024 prototype that was tested in Misano.
"At the end of the Misano test we saw the comments from the team manager and♐ mine that were black and whi💧te, they were totally different," Quartararo told .
"I can clearly say that it was a disappointment, that it was ꩵnot up to the le♕vel I expected, we have not made a step forward, at all.”
Quartararo, perhaps sarcastically, added: 🌸“If the team manager says it is better, maybe we should listen to him."
Quartararo was asked if he fe𒉰lt hopeless 🧜but replied: "No, in the end there is nothing on the line.
“Someone says white, the other says black.
“In the end, the com🥂men🃏ts that the rider says, I think are a bit more important.
"It is the rider who tests the motorcycles, who has the feeling if it is easier to ride 🐈or ꦇnot.
“Of cours🍸e if we start and we are not on the line, 2024 will 🔯be the same as this year or worse.”

Quartararo said, eveꩲn before experiencing two mechanical problems during Friday practice, that he didn’ꦰt expect the new Buddh Circuit to suit Yamaha.
"I think not because of the factors of the straigꦰhts.
“Indonesia did not have many straights, so we went 𓆉there at the beginning.
"With so many straights and so much ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚacceleration, we will suffer a lot.
“When you expect to reach almost 3🏅70 (km/h) for others, from a very small curve, you know that three 🃏tenths are on this straight.
"So I don't think we will be fighting at the top, but at least we will give our best to get the best possible position🌊.”
