Quartararo takes over from Marc Marquez of Sakusen Ring

A Fabio Quartalaro He became more and more like a two-time MotoGP champion and welcomed 95,214 spectators this Sunday at Sakusen Ring, the second best entry of the year after Le Mans. With his third victory this year, he has reached this level of excellence, both strategically and drivingly. It unleashes its direct rivals. It’s a little difficult to do because Bagnaia, who won second place in 2021, signed a new zero in a fall and beat him at the start. Aleix Espargaro was also unable to save the podium in support of Miller with the remaining three due to front chattering issues that dragged the entire race. The Australian, who had been penalized for a long lap, had Quartararo and Zarco play a new French double.

Champion Fabio Quartararo has never won the left circuit, and Yamaha has not won the Saxon circuit since Rossi in 2009. The following year, Honda’s winning streak began with Dani Pedrosa and Marc Marquez and was cut in 2022. Marc Marquez, the only winner since 2013, was absent due to injury, causing the river to break in Sakusenling for the benefit of fishermen. Fabio chose the midback and played it to do something different from other favorites, and he was right again.

The race was going to be one of the survivals, so that’s what happened. Until I saw the checkered flag, no one could do anything for sure, except Quartararo, who had a mental click in Austin and stopped cheating because Yamaha’s top speed was inferior. He must do what he knows best and what he has already seen in the past. He played Yamaha and Jorge Lorenzo, didn’t move off the fictitious rails, made no mistakes, was perfect on medium tires, and was a hard rear.

Remove the Bagnaia hinge

At the start, Pecco Bagnaia maintained the initiative ahead of Quartararo and Aleix Espargaro, leaving Zarco’s Ducati on two great starts, but Quartararo kept his bike on him and raced to Ducati’s rider. I was pressing for an initiative. He had to do a monmero from the first lap, and at the second beginning of the end of the straight, he overtook the Italians from Ducati, who had already had trouble closing the curve. Then, on the second lap, a very aggressive Zarco at 200km / h, who hit Aleix Espargaro with an ax, overtook him in 3rd place.

And at the beginning of the fourth lap, when Quartararo was already calling Breakaway, there was a new mistake in Bagnaia’s credit and he sought to find out who overtook him and fell. The same story of Le Mans when he tried to keep Bastiany “undisturbed”. A fourth zero due to a fall to add to the Ducati leader’s locker, and he continues to abandon the world title due to his own disadvantages. And at the same time, on turn one, Joan Mir also crashed after widening.

Quartararo used 1 “3 with Zarco and 2” against Aleix Espargaro, who started from 9th place on the grid with teammate Maverick Viñales on his best start with Aprilia. Change with the same rear as Quartararo, but in his case with the same starting grid. This hellish sakusen ring was planned for trials due to the heat, as the first third of the race had not been completed as the fall had already increased due to increased tire pressure.

Arriving at the equator, El Diablo keeps 1 “5 above his compatriots, already keeps 3” 5 behind the second French Aleix Espargaro, and Maverick Viñales hangs from the hump, each with a different fair. Has a ring solution-a new one released in the Montmelo test that only Mac chose-but the Granolars’ one didn’t have the rhythm to answer the French double, and they had his long rap penalty. Later, Jack Miller was added. With 13 remaining, the Australian slipped in due to a problem with the rear hole shot and overtook the one from Rose, who continued to lose position dramatically. It was his swan song in his best race with Aprilia, and he was retired at 11.

At the mercy of Aleix and Miller

Alex was at the mercy of Miller and was 1 “4 slower than Quartararo due to front-end issues, and Quartararo was definitely away from Zarco, scoring 3” at 9. One lap later, Miller had already sent his first warning to Aleix. Aleix was able to regain provisional third place after a few corners. Aleix tested him again and elicited his hostile spirit and resistance to Miller’s Ducati, who passed the 5.

His front end was already at the limit of error, and the only three left were Aleix, which Miller took advantage of. Fourth place was safe from Marini, but for the second year in a row he lost the podium in the last few laps and is already 34 points behind Quartararo at the table, so whatever happens in Assen he will be the leader on vacation. I’m leaving. Zarco is third in 61 and Bagnaia is already sixth with 91 points after 10 races, making it the best bike, or at least the most versatile and complete bike, giving in to the Quartararo and Yamaha duo for another year. is needed.

For the rest of the Spaniards, Jorge Martin finished 6th, Raul Fernandez 12th in MotoGP, Maverick Viñales injured 11 laps and Pol Espargaro injured in 8 laps. On the left side, and on lap 6, Alex Marquez also crashed on lap 4 due to a technical flaw when his rear hole shot was stuck from the beginning and could not be fixed manually.
