Fabio Quartararo has a steely focus on his own performance at the Valencia MotoGP even if he admitted that luck might be needed to edge Francesco Bagnaia.
The TV cameras may have focussed on the battle for race and world championship glory at the front of Sunday’s Malaysian MotoGP, but Cal Crutchlow revealed there was plenty of intense action further down the field.
Cal Crutchlow made the most of slick tyres on a drying track to put the home RNF Yamaha team a surprise fastest on Friday afternoon at the Malaysian MotoGP.
With a 14-point deficit to Francesco Bagnaia, Fabio Quartararo badly needs to beat the Ducati rider in this weekend’s penultimate round of the MotoGP season at Sepang.
