Quartararo: "I think I’m going to have a baby"

Frenchman Fabio Quartararo, author of the best training times on the first day of the Spanish MotoGP Grand Prix, said he always had to go “to the limit, because if you don’t you will always stay in the‘ top 10 ‘”.

“And I always have a knife under my neck, but I think that’s what we have to do,” he added.

“If you think you need to be calm on Friday and then improve on Saturday, the sensations change, and if you push from the start you know what to expect every time you get off the track,” the Frenchman said.

Quartararo fell in the first session where he hit his penis and jokingly admitted: “I couldn’t move until five minutes after the fall, but the pain gradually subsided. The difficulty was, I couldn’t breathe. I think I’m going to have a baby.”

And, sincerely, he admitted between laughs that the blow was caused by himself: “It wasn’t even the motorcycle … When I jumped on the motorcycle I collided with the tank. I was a little stupid, because I fell, no I. I didn’t do anything to myself, and when I get the bike back and ride it … It’s better to just lie and say it’s the tire “.

“I pushed, but on one of the wet patches I collided and later I got caught braking and on the moderate front tire I felt so bad, I didn’t feel support, I noticed that the bike was moving a lot, and I didn’t want to take no risk to turn the bike, so I preferred to go straight and at another time I made a mistake in placing the gears, in fourth, and I had to go down to second “, he explained. .

“Here in Jerez, usually Friday is very difficult, so I was surprised at what happened. In fact, in general, Friday was not very good for us this year, and now we have taken a great step. Even when there patches on FP2, in turn eight, for example, and not a good place for them to be there … Hopefully if not dry tomorrow someone will come carrying a dry, because the place is pretty dangerous.lots, but in the eighth you can have a significant crash both from the front and from the rear. It’s quite complicated “, commented Fabio Quartararo from the scene of his accident.

Regarding his rivals this weekend, he said: “The asphalt changes a lot from Friday to Saturday. Tomorrow after the official we will know who is in the first three lines and who has the best speed, but now it is impossible. to tell who’s going there. “

“From the little I can see, there’s Bagnaia, Mir and Aleix have speed, but then you have to figure out how much fuel each has, etc. I ended up very happy with this first day because I always feel weird on Fridays “, insisted the French world champion.
