Fabio Quartararo admitted that he has felt uncomfortable with his Petronas SRT Yamaha bike since the Le Mans MotoGP race last month after crashing out of the Valencia MotoGP last Sunday.
The Frenchman was find in the best way possible in Portugal MotoGP but he was missing speed and best performance during the race.
“We are not fast. The feeling since the Le Mans GP is not there, we are trying to work in the best way possible, we are not fast and we need to find a solution. I hope to find it in Portimao because we are missing speed and this is not normal.” Quartarao said.
“When we arrive to a track like Jerez, Barcelona it was great straight away, but Misano and all the other tracks we are struggling way too much and I think we need to find a solution to be competitive like last year in every track.” Quartararo added.
There is still a big chance of winning the next MotoGP world title for Quartararo, but it’s not going to be easy in a world championship full of pitfalls and surprises.
“We have been here for two weeks and in two weeks we have not made any improvement on the bike. We try many things, but I think we need to go with our base and adapt. I need to adapt myself to the bike because we saw doing all these changes nothing was working.” Quartararo said.
“So, I think the best is to go with our base. If we see that everything is going well in the position of the bike, of course we don’t change nothing.
“If we see something strange, of course we change. But I think we just need to adapt ourselves to the bike and see what we can do.” Quartararo added.
