Former MotoGP world champion Fabio Quartararo faced a difficult weekend at the Thai GP, where his Yamaha M1 presented persistent problems with the front braking system.
The Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP team rider revealed his frustrations after the race at the Buriram circuit: ‘Especially here I had a lot of problems with the front end, because we’re usually quite strong at braking in a straight line.I also had a lot of locking at the front.
Despite the difficulties, Quartararo was resilient and determined to better understand his M1’s problems, and even with the bike showing considerable damage, the Frenchman opted to continue on track: ‘But I think from the morning to the afternoon there was an improvement.Even though the bike was badly damaged, I wanted to keep going to do more laps and see if the electronics improved or not.
It should be noted that when he regretted the crash he suffered at a stage when he was very competitive, he even believed that he could finish between third and seventh place.
