MotoGP | Sepang Test Day 1: Quartararo, “It's nice to be fast, tomorrow on the new M1” [VIDEO]

MotoGP Test Sepang Day 1 Petronas Yamaha – 2020 couldn't have started better than Fabio Quartararo, who after the announcement of his 2021 commitment to the official Yamaha team, achieved the best time on the first day of IRTA testing of the MotoGP class in Sepang.

“El Diablo” set the best lap with a time of 1:58.945, achieved on the 22nd of 52 laps. The feeling with the 1 M2019 is obviously top notch and it is with this that he set the fastest lap. Tomorrow he will get on the M1 2020, he will have the say.

Statements by Fabio Quartararo MotoGP Sepang Day test

“It's nice to be back on track after almost three months. Today it was just a matter of getting used to being back on a MotoGP. We only used last year's bike to do a few laps and set a very good lap time on the medium tire earlier in the day. We're hoping for better weather tomorrow so we can work even harder and I can't wait to see what my first impressions of the new bike will be. I'm really happy with how today went, it's always good to start quickly, but it's only the first day of the test: everyone starts with the new bikes, it's not easy for them. The 2019 bike is the one I really know from last year, but obviously it's always better to be first than tenth and I can't wait for tomorrow to get started with the new bike.”
