Special Sunday livery for Fabio Quartararo at French MotoGP

The 2021 world champion, who recently extended his Yamaha contract for a further two years, qualified a season-best eighth at Le Mans and finished tenth in the Sprint.

“Qualifying was more positive than the Sprint. We struggled with low-grip conditions for us during the Sprint race, so let's see if we can do a little bit more,” Quartararo said. One twist that might propel Quartararo up the order is the threat of Sunday rain, although the #20 warned that their grip issues are replicated in the wet, leaving only the chaos of a flag-to-flag to shake up his prospects.

“When the grip is low in the dry, it's even lower in the wet, so if it rains tomorrow, that won't give us an advantage,” he said. “The most important thing is that we give it our 100%. “It's been a crazy weekend so far: we had special helmets, caps, and t-shirts that were already sold out from the first day. That's totally crazy! And of course it's great to see all the fans here.”“It might rain here, especially during the Race,” Meregalli said. “While this would certainly mix things up and add some possible excitement for the fans, we hope it stays dry as we would like to use track time to collect extra data ahead of our private test in Mugello next week.
