Fabio Quartararo says the influence of having a ‘Mental coach’ has played a huge role in him being calmer during difficult moments with Yamaha in MotoGP.
MotoGP title contenders Jorge Martin and Francesco Bagnaia believe Alvaro Bautista can deliver a surprise performance on his return to Grand Prix racing.
After their on track battle at the Malaysian MotoGP which could have ended in disaster, Francesco Bagnaia is anticipating a difficult atmosphere with future team-mate Enea Bastianini in 2023.
Although his championship hopes may appear slim, Fabio Quartararo says he will prepare himself like a ‘crazy man’ for the MotoGP season-finale as he aims to retain his world title.
Fabio Quartararo said all strategy went out the window after seeing Francesco Bagnaia’s rocket start to the Malaysian MotoGP, and that he has ‘one objective’ for Valencia.
Despite knowing an overtake on Francesco Bagnaia could play a big role as to whether the Italian won the MotoGP title in Sepang or not, Enea Bastianini says that and a pit board message on lap 12 from his team changed nothing.
Marc Marquez has defended his tactics in Q1 and Q2, which saw the eight-time world champion attempt to profit from a tow behind series leader Francesco Bagnaia at the Malaysian MotoGP.
Pole position deservedly went the way of Jorge Martin following a brilliant performance that saw him break the lap record by six tenths in Sepang, but Marc Marquez was arguably just as impressive during qualifying at the Malaysian MotoGP.
Francesco Bagnaia will be crossing his fingers that rain on Saturday morning holds off at the Malaysian MotoGP, after the championship leader elected not to fit new tyres at the end of FP1 which cost him a spot in the top ten on combined times.
Francesco Bagnaia’s hopes of becoming a MotoGP champion, the first for Ducati since 2007 and the first Italian since his hero Valentino Rossi in 2009, could become a reality this weekend.
Fabio Quartararo’s plan for the Malaysian MotoGP is full out attack as the Yamaha rider claims ‘I have nothing to lose’ in the title battle with Francesco Bagnaia.
Aleix Espargaro says basic problems have cost him and Aprilia in recent rounds and that winning the 2022 MotoGP title is unlikely with just two races to go.
