Fabio Quartararo (crash at the first corner): "It’s a shame, but above all I hope that Andrea Dovizioso is doing well"

Impressive during all the weekend British GP practice, Fabio Quartararo was unlucky when he crashed on the first corner of the race… Frustrating for fans of the young Frenchman, who couldn’t see what he could have done against Marquez and Rins ….

Fabio Quartararo, Yamaha satellite n ° 20 (4th in qualifying and retirement in the race) : "Alex Rins made a small slide in front of me, I put the gas a little too much to avoid it and I went in high side. It’s a shame for the result, but I especially hope that Andrea Dovizioso is fine (he suffered from a concussion and several bruises but without particular complications and was able to return to Italy, editor’s note). It was a racing incident and just plain bad luck for both of us. All weekend long we were fast and my worst position was my fourth place in qualifying. I had the same pace as the best drivers and I’m really happy with the progress we’ve made this weekend. We will be able to continue down this path ".

MNC Analysis : How not to be frustrated by this eliminatory fall from the first corner, when El Diablo had largely dominated the tests of the GP of Great Britain MotoGP? On the other hand, Fabio saw all his hopes for a first victory in the premier class soar, just as there was still a chance for Andrea Dovizioso to prevent Marc Marquez from being crowned world champion again this year by winning in his fall…

Fortunately, the young Frenchman was not seriously injured (concussion) and yielded – temporarily – the head of the classification of private pilots to Jack Miller only for two small points (94 to 92). Andrea Dovizioso, on the other hand, is now 78 lengths (more than three Grands Prix!) From Marc Marquez, who is almost guaranteed to win his eighth world crown this year (the sixth in MotoGP).

"It’s disappointing for Fabio because he could have fought for the victory with the pace he had, but this is racing and things like that can happen", summed up the Petronas SRT team director., Wilco Zeelenberg, whose disappointment is offset by the 5th place of Franco Morbidelli, who signs his best result in MotoGP.

Franco Morbidelli, Yamaha satellite n ° 21 (8th in qualifying and 5th in race) : "It was a good race for us, especially since this weekend it was sometimes difficult to envisage this kind of result. I got off to a good start, I was able to occupy good places and my feeling got better as the race progressed. I struggled a bit with Cal Crutchlow but managed to get away from him and fifth place is a good result for me and my team. starting point for the next races and I think we can use what we have learned this weekend to improve further ".
