Fabio Quartararo is leading four races before the end of the season MotoGP in the overall standings with a 48-point advantage over Francesco Bagnaio, but the Frenchman says that in Austin this weekend he will not be tactical, but will race for victory.
The Yamaha racer has announced that he will start riding around Misano with some reserves if necessary, as there are still 100 points available until the end of the season, which means that his first MotoGP world title can still slip out of his hands.
“We’re coming to Austin with a 48-point lead, and then we have three more races ahead of us, so I’m going to race like I did in Misano,” said Quartararo, who drove at full speed in the final laps of the race for the San Marino GP and tried to catch the leading Bagnaio .
“Initially, I planned to think about the title only after the race in Misano, but I decided to continue as before. I think it’s right to fight for victory if it’s achievable. In Misano, my mother almost had a stroke, and my father enjoyed it very much. At the beginning of the year, I decided to chase victory, regardless of whether I am fighting for the title or not. ”
Quartararo rode only once at the Austin racetrack, in his first season in MotoGP, where he finished seventh with the Yamaha team Petronas SRT, and Yamaha has never won at this racetrack, as everything except the 2019 race was won by Marc. Marquez, who resigned in that race that season.
