Virtual MotoGP: Quartararo gives Rossi the podium, doubled by the Marquez brothers

Once again qualified on pole, Fabio Quartararo failed to climb on the podium of the – electronic – MotoGP race disputed this Sunday in Misano. Our compatriot ceded the third step to local hero Valentino Rossi, while Alex and Marc Marquez played for victory in the final corner.

The first Grand Prix victory still eludes Fabio Quartararo! Last year on the track, our compatriot kept improving over the course of the events, until he became Marc Marquez’s main rival. Unfortunately, our "Fabiolous rookie" failed to beat the six-time Spanish MotoGP champion.

This year on the circuits – printed on the PlayStation 4 … – our excellent French "20" is proving extremely fast in qualifying but is slow to confirm in the race: fourth at Mugello, fifth at Red Bull Ring then eighth at Jerez, he finished fourth yesterday in Misano.

Author of his third pole in four virtual Grand Prix (!), Fabio turned in qualifying a second faster than his closest opponent, the double winner Alex Marquez. Unfortunately, the young rider of the Yamaha SRT team has fallen back into his pitfalls and gravel…

Valentino Rossi, on the other hand, was more efficient than during his last – and first – participation in the confined Grands Prix. The dean of the factory team Yamaha Monster took advantage of a fall of his future replacement "El Diablo" to climb on his national podium.

Himself fallen on the first lap, the oldest GP had an exemplary and well rewarded end of the race: "in the last three laps, I started to see the three guys in front and I tried to keep my good rhythm. In the end, thanks to Fabio’s mistake, I got on the podium ", rejoices the eternal kid from Tavullia..

The n ° 46 finished four short seconds behind the two official Honda: the n ° 73 of Alex Marquez followed by the n ° 93 of Marc. However, the order was reversed before the last turn of the last lap! Despite his – good and bad – experiences in the matter, the eldest was beaten by his brother…

“Marc was in the front and at the last corner I was like ‘ok, I’m going to try to brake early and then try to attack in the acceleration.” Conversely, his strategy was to attack under braking, like in reality! I came out well and I won ", clearly analyzes the reigning Moto2 world champion.

Defeated by his new teammate and little brother, Marc accepts the defeat with a smile: "it was my best virtual race. I can retire!", He jokes. The Honda champion – until 2024 and beyond? – warns however: "Alex, I can accept it in video games, but in real life, it will be different". Fratricidal fight to follow on MNC: stay tuned. And #StayCare !
