MotoGP: Difficult start to season for Quartararo and Zarco

Having difficulty using the Yamaha for free practice, Quartararo was quick to complain that his bike was underpowered compared to his competitors. French drivers may be right. Passing by a narrow margin in the second quarter, he started 11th in the Grand Prix and finished 9th, a poor performance, especially due to the fall of some of the leaders.

But Diablo was snatched by his compatriot John Zarco in the final moments of his eighth-place finish. The latter marked a proper match by collecting five positions, but that was still below the hopes of a world title and two title victories. It remains to be seen if the disease will go deep, or if their bikes will respond better on other tracks. Follow-up to the Indonesian Grand Prix on March 20.
