The 2023 season may only have reached its halfway point in Austria but Fabio Quartararo doubts anyone can prevent Francesco Bagnaia becoming MotoGP’s first repeat champion since Marc Marquez in 2019.
Quartararo was speaking after crossing the finish line almost 20-seconds behind Bagnaia, in ninth place at the Red Bull Ring.
“At the beginning of the race, the grip that I had was super low. Then I lost a lot of positions, I made some mistakes to get back positions, I had to push a lot on the tyres, and I destroyed the tyres.Winless for over a year and with only two podiums from 20 races so far this season, Quartararo admitted it had been difficult to reset his expectations to be happy with such results.
“But now I'm accepting to be fighting in this position, and it gives the motivation back to at least give as much feedback as possible and at least try to enjoy a little bit.”
