Silverstone, a Grand Prix more difficult than expected for Quartararo

There are only a few days left before the resumption of MotoGP. After taking advantage of the summer break, fabio quartararo will soon get back on his bike at Silverstone. For his return to competition, the Frenchman will find a Frenchman who smiles at him. A godsend then to get back on track in the best possible way? Except that in England, the French driver will reap the costs of his collision with Aleix Espargaró at Assen.

Indeed, the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP rider will have to take his Long Lap Penalty. With this new parameter in the race, the Niçois could have difficulty defending his title of last winner on the British track. “ I can not wait to be there. Last year I won at Silverstone. This time, it may be a little more complicated in the sense that I will have to observe a Long Lap Penalty. That said, let's be honest, it motivates me to do even better » explains Fabio Quartararo.

His competitors will try to make the most of the Habs' penalty to try to further reduce the gap with the championship leader. For the moment, 21 points separate “El Diablo” from Aleix Espargaró. Nothing is decided in the championship and if he wants to defend his crown, Fabio Quartararo will not be able to afford to sign a new zero point like in the Netherlands.

« I'm happy to be back on track. I took advantage of this summer break to rest. But I also did a lot of training. I have always been focused on getting back into top form “, says the Nice resident. After splitting the water with Lewis Hamilton, let's hope that the Frenchman is as comfortable for the first free practice session at 10:55 a.m. this Friday at Silverstone.
