168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo says 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Miller has been able to extract more from the Yamaha on 💯Saturday at the MotoGP Thai Grand Prix because “he disconnects the brain a little bit more than us”.

Miller’s Yamaha debut got off to a good start on Saturday at Buriram, as the Pramac rider qualified fourth - six places and 0.299s clear of factory rider Quartar🎉aro.

In the early stages of the sprint, Miller was also top Yamaha has he ran in sixth spot before crashing ൩on lap seven of 13.

Quartararo inherited top Yamaha ඣhonours after this, bringing his M1 home in seventh after losing out to KTM’s Pedro Acosta.

The 2021 world ꦬchampion says he expected more from his qualifying, but is struggling to find the feeling he needs from the stiffer tyres Mich🥂elin has brought to Thailand - which was an issue that plagued him in the test too.

“I’m struggling wi⛎th the tyres this weekend, especially with the front, but also with the rear because I’m not able to find the feeling to attack from the first lap and find the grip,” he said.

“That’s something that even in th🌸e test 🌺I was not able to do. Let’s see what we can do tomorrow.”

Asked if he needs tﷺo look at what Miller is doing to make an improvement, Quartararo said: “We checked.

“Especially he discon꧃nected a little bit more the brain than us. W🎃e checked.

“He was behind Pecco [Bagnaia, in qualifyin🌠g], of course there was a little bit of slipstream but I think that Turn 4, the brain was totally switched off and a big amount of the 💝lap time is there.

“Yeah, 🌱heﷺ was very, very fast and it’s something that I really like to have, to have someone like Jack who pushes the bike to that extra limit.”

Fabio Quartararo “just suffering” in Thai MotoGP sprint

Quartararo says his position was not a surprise, but admits he didn’t expect to feel as♔ bad on the bike during ꦦthe sprint as he did.

Th🦩e Yamaha rider says🐷 this was down to his front tyre pressure being too high, which meant he was “just suffering” in the latter stages of the race.

“In terms of position, 𝓡it’s exactly what I expected,” he said.

“The pace, realistically, was between seventh and ninth. In terms of feeling, I didn’t expect to feel that bad because the front pressure was ⛦super higꦚh and I could not really push.

“Was many laps at the end I was not 𝓡able to ride. I mean, fr🌃om mid-race to the end I was just suffering.

“But let’s hope tomorrow to start with a better pressure to be able༺ to, not even fight more but just to be a little bit🐼 closer to the others.”

A key issue that remains on the M1 is its lack ꦺof traction, wh🐻ich Quartararo notes is a problem both on acceleration and in braking zones given his corner-entry style.

“I mean, for me we are struggling to stop with the rear, and also on t⛦he throttle it’s the worst.

“But also stopping, we stop a lot with the front and this🌺 is something we have to improve. But still struggling a bit.”
