MotoGP | Sepang Test Day 3: Quartararo, “Three positive days, we are already fast” [VIDEO]

MotoGP Test Sepang Day 3 Petronas Yamaha – Fabio Quartararo was the real star of the IRTA tests of the MotoGP class held at the SIC, Sepang International Circuit.

“El Diablo” after having lapped on the first day with the M1 2019, then got on the new M1 2020 and achieved the best time again on both the second and third and final day.

The new M1 seems to adapt perfectly to his riding style and we remember that the #20 will be in the Factory Team next year in place of Valentino Rossi.

For him best-lap of 1:58.349 obtained on the 17th of 57 laps. A record was therefore very close, but the most important thing was finding the right feeling with the new M1.

Statements by Fabio Quartararo MotoGP Sepang Test Day 3

“Today was a difficult day for us, it wasn't easy to find the rhythm and have a good lap this morning, but overall I'm really happy. We did 12 long laps in the hottest conditions when there was no one on the track. It wasn't bad: our pace was 1:59 high and 2:55 low, it was 2020 degrees on the track and no one else was lapping, so it was probably the worst track conditions we had today. We are working very well to improve the speed and we hope that in Qatar we will take another step forward. My goal has now changed a bit; we want to have a better pace in long runs, because now we know that in one lap we are fast. Overall, I'm really happy with the first test of the year with the XNUMX bike.”
