In unsuspecting times it was Andrea Dovizioso who pointed the finger Michelin, the sole distributor of MotoGP tires, complaining about the unpredictability and lack of consistency provided by the French company’s tires, which, according to him, are greatly influencing the course of the championship. Today the same complaints could probably be raised Fabio Quartararo. The Frenchman from the Yamaha Petronas team started from pole with the underprivileged at the Aragon track, but his Sunday was destroyed by problems with the front tire, which caused him to fall to 18th place, outside the points zone.

At the end of the race, Quartararo himself explained, through his Twitter profile, that he had had a detail pressure problem. After the race, the Frenchman had bitterly commented on the second ‘zero’ of the season that cost him the lead in the standings: “It was a really strange race. We knew that our pace was not the best, but we did not expect to finish in this position. – El Diablo admitted – I was hoping to go ahead, but we had a problem with the front tire. It was the first time we used this tire and we had a great time in the first three laps, but then the pressure got too high. It was not possible to drive, it had no feeling in the front. I am disappointed because without this problem I think we could have fought for a better result. It is not easy to understand why, but we will look for it and prepare for next weekend, when we return here. “.
To save the day at Petronas he tried, at least partially, Franco Morbidelli. The Italian finished sixth at the finish line, better than the Italians, but bitterly due to the overtaking suffered in the final by Nakagami’s Honda: “I had a hard time fighting with the others at the beginning of the race – explained the Roman pilot – we had the middle front tire and I lost too much ground in the early stages, fighting with other drivers. Towards the end I was getting Maverick [Viñales] but I didn’t get close enough to attack him. He was able to keep the gap. Unfortunately I lost to Takaaki in the last corner. However, it was a good race, especially in the last twelve laps, when I was able to keep a steady pace. We are missing something and we will try to solve everything by next weekend “.
