QUARTARARO
& MILLER—THE
SECOND DUEL
After coming together at the
start of the Indonesian GP, Fabio
Quartararo and Jack Miller were
once again involved in a tete-a-tete
after the Australian was touring
on the racing line in qualifying as
Quartararo approached turn seven
at full speed. Miller was handed
a three-place grid penalty, and
explained, "I don't know what more
they want from me—I swapped
bikes, swapped leathers, trying to
get comfortable with both … it's
not like I was intentionally trying to
get in anybody's way. But anyway."
Quartararo had to abort his lap and
felt that impacted his qualifying, as
his soft rear tire wasn't at its best
after. "It's one of the fastest places
of the track [where I was impeded],"
said the Frenchman. "I don't want to
complain because it can happen,
maybe he didn't see me."
BAGNAIA
BLOWING UP
Aprilia's stunning performance
aside, Saturday was notable for
title favorite Francesco Bagnaia's
near-meltdown in FP2 and Q1.
From looking nervous over the
track's bumps to repeatedly
throwing his hands into the air.
His annoyance at riders seeking a
tow blew up at the close of FP2,

a stunning victory in Argentina.
Garcia passed both second
place finisher Dennis Foggia
and his Leopard Racing team-
mate Tatsuki Suzuki on the last
lap to pick up his first win of
the season, as Ayumu Sasaki
(Sterilgarda Husqvarna Max)
completed the podium despite a
long-lap penalty.
