Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) described his Red Bull Grand Prix of The Americas podium as the most important of his career. So, if Quartararo is over 50 points ahead of Pecco by the end of the weekend at Misano, the title will be his. “I had belly ache before the start and to be honest that was the toughest race, now we have 50 points advantage and to be honest at Misano I will have nothing, and if it’s not at Misano, I will do my best there, in Portimao it will be the moment to achieve it. Now I’m in Championship mode but if I can fight for the victory at Misano I will go for it, we take it step by step. Compared to Quartararo, Acosta’s chances of taking home the title at Misano are slim – but by no means impossible.
