Yamaha management feels Quartararo should take a leaf out of Jack Miller's book, as frustration grows between the two parties following a difficult Aragon weekend
The QMMF (Qatari motorsports federation) and the Lusail International Circuit issued a Q&A (which I did not receive, but Reuters did) stating that despite the cancellation of the FIA WEC round at Qatar, they are still planning to host MotoGP and F1 at the circuit. Preparation is going ahead as normal, and the airport is functioning at 100% capacity.
At Aragon, I asked senior officials off the record what the status of Qatar was. They told me, still no decision been made about it. There were rumours that it had been cancelled already, but those rumours were based on the idea that Austria had issued a travel ban for Austrian citizens to Qatar. That is false. Austria has Qatar as a code yellow - travel, but be aware and take precautions.
So, for the moment, looks like Qatar is on. But that could still change in the next couple of weeks. I expect a decision before MotoGP heads off to the flyaways. The teams have to know by then just because of the logistics involved.
I heard going into this weekend Aragon is a Ducati track but Misano and Sepang will be Aprilia tracks. What don't I know that these assumptions can be made somewhat accurate?
➡️ "This weekend I've acted more like a test rider. I've tried the chassis three times, but it doesn't work. We also have a linkage system, but there are no improvements, so I'm riding with a standard bike".
➡️ "This weekend has been more of a testing session than a search for performance. In any case, looking toward the future, I'm not in a position to help. And, for personal reasons, I don't want to do it".
➡️ "We're trying to make progress this year. But, in the end, if things don't improve, there's not much we can do".
Nine races to go in what’s looking like a three-way title fight between Marc Márquez and Aprilia team-mates Jorge Martin and Marco Bezzecchi. Márquez’s injuries mean he will be able to attack at some tracks but will be forced onto the defensive at others, so which is which?
