Fabio Quartararo sees no similarities between his situation and the one currently facing Francesco Bagnaia, who cannot find an explanation for his slump in performance while his team-mate Marc Marquez is flying.
Quartararo and Bagnaia are both world champions, both will change teams next season, and both are going through a particularly difficult spell in their sporting careers. The Frenchman, the last rider to win the title with Yamaha in 2021, will leave the only manufacturer he has raced for in MotoGP over the past eight years to become the spearhead of Honda’s project. The Italian, meanwhile, will leave Ducati after becoming the most successful rider in the company’s history, with two titles and 31 victories, to join Aprilia, where he will be paired with his friend Marco Bezzecchi.
