Fabio Quartararo and Yamaha had
a positive weekend despite a fall
during the opening lap of the GP. "I
have no idea what happened during
the opening-lap accident. I had a big
touch with Brad Binder or Jack Miller,"
he said. "Then I was flying, and after
that I don't really remember what hap-
pened. We were all on the ground,
but I don't think it was a mistake. On
a slow corner and change of direc-

can happen. For the restart, I had to
take my second bike, and we didn't
have any more tires, so I started with
tires from yesterday from qualifying
that I didn't really like. Unfortunately,
I couldn't catch the riders ahead of
me. But I think this was a positive
race weekend for us overall. We have
done a great qualifying, great Sprint,
and great race. I think we are heading
in the right direction."

clattered into Fabio Quartararo,
who then smashed into Jack
Miller. It looked nasty indeed
but thankfully all riders
walked away.
