Quartararo: Long Lap ‘in a dangerous place’, Ducati aero like ‘Fast and Furious’

"I don’t need to get crazy about this. I just need to make the Long Lap and two laps more will not change."

Asked how much he practiced the Long Lap, Quartararo added:"Every time there was a yellow flag and every time I was missing a lap. I think five or six times today."While there were some sizzling lap times set in FP2, none more so than Quartararo as the championship leader was the only rider to go underneath the 1m 59s barrier, there was also new aero innovation from Ducati.’s Gresini Ducati was seen sporting new aero parts at the rear of his GP-21 machine.

Looking like the back of a Stegosaurus Dinosaur, Quartararo instead opted for a ‘Fast and Furious’ comparison. "It looks fun, it looks a bit like Fast and Furious. I’m sure if they put it [on the bike] then it is working."Although Quartararo appears to be the rider to beat heading into Saturday’s qualifying day, Friday practice was anything but easy for the series leader.

"It was tough. It was tough because the first laps in FP1 I was a little bit lost,” stated Quartararo. “Not on power or handling, but on braking. On turn eight I was braking and then I released [the brakes]; I didn’t remember how much braking [was needed to stop] the bike. I could not ride after Assen because of the shoulder injury I had and it was strange."
