Fabio Quartararo was the best man from Yamaha on sunday race at Buriram after securing the top five, while Franco Morbidelli missed the top ten by less than two seconds, being 11th and Massimo Meregalli admitted that this was somewhat a day with mixed feelings.
The Team Director of the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team spoke of the race from both of his riders as follow:
– The Thai GP Race delivered in terms of entertainment! Fabio and Franco showed they had the pace in Warm Up, and this is positive in one way, but also frustrating in another. Our riders can’t exploit the speed and pace that they have when riding by themselves in a race setting because they are forced to ride the lines of other riders. Starting from P10 and P18 doesn’t help either. Still, both of them did a good job this sunday. Gaining positions at the start and managing the tyres were the points we focused on to get the best results possible, and ultimately it did pay off. We now have a one-week break before we start the final triple-header to wrap up the season.
