Quartararo: "I’m not even the favorite"

His only success was still in the CEV Moto3 of 2014. This Sunday he couldn’t even give an accurate response with his Yamaha to Aleix Espargaró along with the Aprilia that ended up leaving him on the podium.

“I’m not the favorite, far from it. The only thing I can do is make no mistake. If I’m not mistaken, I could be there because our speed is at all Grand Prix, apart from a few similar ones. Austin and Qatar where we are slow. Here, in terms of speed, he’s the fastest in my opinion. But once you make a small mistake, you’re out of the game, “he explained to Le Mans after the race. .

His big problem was his inability to overtake: “I remember last year, when Pecco (Bagnaia) started a career at Portimao in 11th position, he was able to overtake. In the second race ( in Portimao) I was in the same situation, in the sixth position, and I remained in the sixth position.

“I don’t know what I can do, to be honest, because I’m pushing my limits. I’m on the limit everywhere. But I can’t even try. That’s the most frustrating thing, you’re on the last lap, you’re giving 100% but even if you’re a centimeter behind, they’re speeding up and moving away. Then you lose another tenth. That’s why I don’t seem to be your favorite this year. “

Fourth place at Le Mans is not his position: “I’m not happy with my race. There were three crashes in front of me, my real position isn’t fourth, it’s farther behind and it’s not because of the speed.. position where if you don’t have a clear track or you can’t overtake then it’s over. And that’s why I wasn’t even mad because I’m a little used to it now. “

“I gave it my all and I had a moment when I almost lost the front wheel in the last corner, Aleix took half a second of difference and in five corners he was behind,” he explained.
