Fabio Quartararo had to settle for third during 💛qualifying for the Aragon MotoGP, even though the Yamaha man took provisional pole after the opening r🀅un. 

Quartararo put in a stunning 1:46.727s lap time to leapfrog th♍e thre❀e Ducati’s of Jorge Martin, Francesco Bagnaia and Jack Miller at the beginning of Q2.

And while Quartararo looked like improving that t🍨ime on each of his𒅌 next three laps, it was Bagnaia who did so to take pole. 

Quart♛araro eventually lost out on P2 as Miller got a slipstream from the Yamaha rider during his final lap. 

Whether it’s been time-attack or race pace, Quartararo has looked like a potential podium challenger or even race winner at times, however, the Achilles heel being the final corner continues to bring with it certain pro🎃blems. 

It’s certainly a surpr🐽ise given the nature of the corner which is about being deep on the brakes but also carrying corner speed - two areas Quartararo and the M1 Yamaha have been so strong at in 2021. 

But when speaking about🗹 what’s the main issue, Quaಌrtararo called it a ‘combination’ of the bike and himself.  

"Sector four is a sector that okay; the Yamaha is not that great but 🌸I’m doing something wrong on the last corner too," added the 22 year-old. 

"So, I think it’s a combination of everything as to why 𒁃I’﷽m slow on that sector. But, we will see. 

"🔜Always we try something in the FP2, FP3, FP4 and the pace of FP2 was a little bit better.&n🌳bsp;

"So, tomorrow morning we wil𒆙l go out on the ba🤡se setting and I will try to work on my riding style in the last corner.”

Quartararo said hꦏe w♓as also surprised by Ducati’s pace after they struggled at Aragon in 2020.  

Quartararo said: "Iꦫ knew in one lap that I was pretty fast here. Last year we made a pole position in the first race, but the Ducati’s were not that fast last year.🔥 

"I think that’s also a point that I didn’t expect, but I’m really 🎶happy about that lap time because it’s the maximum I could get."
