Quartararo: “What a nightmare…”

Seven races ago Fabio Quartararoafter winning the German GP, ​​took the lead with a 38-point advantage Aleix Espargaro and he has one who is now his main rival for the title, Pecco Bagnaia, at least 91 points. Since then, the Italian, behind a Ducati superior, has added 4 consecutive wins, is second in Aragon and third to Thailand. He just made a mistake when he went to the ground Japanese. All this, while Fabio is sinking, achieving only one podium in the last 7 races (he was second in Austria). I want to react Thailandbut after being fast in dry conditions, the sky cheated him with a heavy rain that drowned him. Quartararo was uncompetitive in the water and paid dearly for it, finishing 17th and seeing how Pecko He is only 2 points behind his leader with only three races remaining, with Aleix also 20 points behind.

Because of this, Fabio did not hesitate to verify what he had experienced Buriram it’s a real one “nightmare”.

“What a nightmare… Unfortunately we had a terrible race and we couldn’t get a point. After a great dry weekend, it rained before our race. We used to be fast this year, but somehow we had difficulties, problems and terrible feelings,” said the Yamaha rider, who now faces three final tests where he cannot crash and has to climb if he wants to beat Bagnaia and the rest of Ducati that could play in favor of Pecco.

“The rain came at the worst possible time for us. We didn’t have much time on a wet track before the start of the race, just a few minutes. The first laps of the race are really complicated. Jack (Miller) pushed me too hard in Turn 1 and it just got worse from there. I was trying to find a good feeling but in the 4th year I had a scare and the visibility was really bad.”

There are only 75 points left to bet and each one counts a lot. The reigning MotoGP world champion wants to re-emerge at the next round of Phillip Island, in Australia.
