Quartararo reportedly bangs his head against a wall after his fall in Germany
First MotoGP error in the race for Fabio Quartararo, who made a mistake in the second round of the 2019 German Grand Prix during a daring overtaking on Petrucci. The French beginner, disappointed but not destroyed, is already learning from his haste.
Fabio Quartararo, Yamaha-SRT Petronas (2nd in qualifying and crash during the race) : "I made a mistake. I wanted to pass Petrucci, but I hesitated to go there … I wanted to go too fast and I made the wrong decision: I entered the turn too quickly and with too much angle. This is my first mistake in the race: I will learn the lessons and I will come back stronger ".

"I want to apologize to my team because the pace was really good this weekend. Now we have to rest to come back to 100%. However, the first half of the season has been really positive because we did not expect to achieve poles and get on the podium. I’m happy with my record ".
Site analysis : Impossible to blame Fabio Quartararo for finishing his ninth race in the premier class on the ground, he who at only 20 years old already has three poles – including successive in Catalonia and the Netherlands – and two podiums for his first season on a Private M1 !
The most beautiful tribute in terms of its speed is paid by Marc Marquez himself, who believes that the young man from Nice "demonstrates the real potential of the Yamaha". Rossi and Viñales will appreciate the remark, they who seem to find only flaws in their official M1 for two and a half seasons !
The n ° 20 certainly lacked discernment by daring this attack on Danilo Petrucci in the third turn, instead of waiting for a more favorable moment and a place: "when I think about it now, I want to hit the head against a wall telling me that there were 28 laps left ", he admits.
"The leading men weren’t even on a second: I could have waited one more round to try something else. Unfortunately, I was hesitant to pass it or not and then I mismanaged it. ", analyzes the Petronas-SRT pilot with lucidity and wisdom.
The desire to do well. Too fast…
Two reasons for this haste: the first is due to the fact that Fabio had a good card to play in Germany, on the strength of his trials and qualifications which ended neck and neck with Marc Marquez, the "King of the Ring". The French, 2nd on the grid, had shown promising speed and consistency.
Aware of his potential, the young man wanted to stick to the Marquez basques as soon as the lights went out in order to accumulate experience behind the absolute master of the place (10 pole and 10 wins!). And why not put the pressure on him a little while hoping for a misstep: the n ° 93 fell well in Austin while he was also the favorite. !
Unfortunately the plan of the "Rookie" was immediately thwarted by a missed passage of his third gear, which made him miss his braking at the first turn: Marquez followed by five other pilots immediately overtook him, while Fabio lacked little hooking up with Jack Miller !
It is therefore with understandable excitement that the Habs started their second round, determined to get back to the leading man as quickly as possible … Too many ambitions and perhaps too much pressure too: the fall was inevitable. , especially with a full tank and therefore a motorcycle not at the best of its handling.
Fabio records his first white result in MotoGP following an error, after experiencing the disillusionment of the breakage in Jerez (Spain). This crash is his first in a race since the 2017 Australian Grand Prix in Moto2: it’s hard to blame him for a lack of reliability !
Two places lost in the provisional, but still first Rookie
"We win together, we lose together and we learn every day", summarizes the pilot from Nice on social networks, already turned towards the resumption of hostilities scheduled for August 4 in the Czech Republic.
We win together, we loose together and we learn everyday

Fabio will come in 8th place and 67 points in the provisional, after losing two positions and the place of first independent driver following his fall. The French nonetheless remains the best rookie in the championship, far ahead of Joan Mir (13th with 39 pts), Miguel Oliveria (18th with 15 pts) and the disappointing Francesco Bagnaia (21st with 11 pts).

The other good news is that he did not injure himself more during his slide in the German gravel, in particular at the level of his left shoulder dislocated by a violent guiding in. Let us also remember that "El Diablo" still suffers from his right forearm, recently operated on for a lodge syndrome..
