Quartararo admits Japanese MotoGP bikes’ pace embarrassing their riders

Having qualified last, Yamaha rider Quartararo could do no better than 21st in the 10-lap sprint on Saturday at Silverstone.

For much of the contest, all of the six riders on Japanese bikes occupied the bottom six places on the field, with only Franco Morbidelli marginally sparing blushes by taking the chequered flag in 15th.
