MotoGP | GP Austria Qualifying: Quartararo, “Extraordinary front row”

MotoGP GP Austria Red Bull Ring Spielberg Yamaha Monster 2021 – Fabio Quartararo will start from the front row in the Austrian Grand Prix, the eleventh round of the 2021 MotoGP.

“El Diablo” in fact hit the second half, beaten by just 34 thousandths by Jorge Martin, author of the second consecutive pole.

The Yamaha suffers in acceleration and top speed and having reached the front row is a great result on such a fast track and where the Yamaha has always suffered, as underlined by the French rider himself, who thus spoke from a race perspective.

Statements Fabio Quartararo Austrian GP Red Bull Ring Spielberg Qualifying

“We have an excellent atmosphere in the Team and a mechanic from Maverick (who doesn't race here because he was suspended by Yamaha, with the rider having apologized to the Japanese manufacturer today, ed.) made himself available when he could have stayed at home and I thank him . As for qualifying, in the second outing I found bikes that bothered me, everyone always wants my slipstream but I need it too. However, I am very happy with this pace and with my lap which was really fast. In FP4 we went really fast, we did 17 laps on the same tyre, this is important for the race. I want to fight for the podium, but I won't be crazy if someone ahead of me is faster. I will go to the limit without exceeding it. We suffer from the maximum speed, but I'm happy with the work done. The fastest lap in qualifying is the thing I like most, more than the race itself. Having made two front rows on this circuit where we struggle especially in T1 and T2 was extraordinary.”
