After a galley season in 2024, Fabio Quartararo hoped to take a good start with Yamaha at the Grand Prix of Thailand. But he will start from Buriram with new doubts.
That it seems far from the release of the tunnel for Fabio Quartararo. The French pilot hoped to go up the slope after a 2024 galley season, sanctioned by a 13th place in the MotoGP World Championship, without the least Top 5 in Grand Prix in 20 races.
The first signals of the year 2025 were positive, and the Yamaha pilot had shown encouraging progress during pre-season trials, or even when first tracks at the Thailand Grand Prix on weekends. Fabio Quartararo of course refused to be too beautiful, to fight for a podium or a victory, but
7th place during the Sprint race on Saturday confirmed a more positive trend.
The soufflé quickly fell on Sunday during the Grand Prix. “” From the heating turn, we saw that there was something strange on the motorcycle, we had no grip at the back, said the Frenchman
at the team. We were lost on the first three laps. »» While he launched himself from 10th place, the Nice tumbled to 19th place. And the 2021 world champion fought in the shadows to hang the small point in 15th place.
Fabio Quartararo does not understand
Clearly, it was not what Fabio Quartarao was waiting before this race, and here he leaves Buriram with new headache. “” It’s really strange, you have to understand why ”, he wonders. Certainly, the troubles are far from finished, and the contrast is striking with the other French pilot, Johann Zarco.
He too in a hassle last year,
The Cannois already did better than its best result of the year 2024 by taking a very promising seventh place in Thailand. “Clearly, I’m too happy, it’s a relief in my head, Savor the Honda LCR pilot. We feel that there are things to use, a potential to exploit but which is not easy to reach. (…) I can fight in the area I expected, that of the first ten. »» We will see if Fabio Quartararo can say as much in two weeks in Argentina.
