Yamaha, Fabio Quartararo can’t take it anymore: ‘We can’t fight with anyone’
After a weekend and a half of the championship, words of surrender are already coming.
Fabio Quartararo continues to suffer with his Yamaha, and even after the Sprint Race at Termas de Rio Hondo he expressed all his frustration. The Frenchman, who started from the seventh box on the grid, did not è go beyond tenth place at the finish line, losing a 12-second gap to winner Marc Marquez.
“We don't have a chance to fight against anyone – Quartararo complained at the end of the day -.At the beginning I pushed too hard and the result è was that the tire è immediately dropped. On a dry lap the Yamaha is not bad, but we have very little grip. It will be important to understand whyé in long runs we struggle so much”.
There is no shortage of reasons for disappointment for Quartararo, taking into account the fact that after a very difficult 2024 but ended on a crescendo he confirmed his commitment to Yamaha through 2026. The pre-season tests had also seemed promising, defeated by this start of the season.
“Since the beginning of this championship we have always been last. Testing is one thing, but then we get on the track for the race. And when we do, we are always at the back of the pack”, added a discouraged Quartararo.

Two evenly matched sets in which there was only one break, the one on 5-5 in the second set in favor of Mensik, and only two other break points, saved by Gigante, who on 3-3 also in the second set had found himself down 15-40.
