The Yamaha rider led current championship 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia by 91 points head♍ing into the Dutch MotoGP at Assen - the final race before the summer break - but has since seen his advantage become a 23-point deficit after failing to win a single race in that time frame, while individual mistakes have also played a huge role. 

Quartararo’s slide started in Assen after crashing into 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Aleix Espargaro, before a second all at turn five saw him retire fro𓆉m th൩e race.

The Frenchman, who then saw another non-score come in Aragon after unfortunately clipping the rear of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez on lap-one, then endured arguably his worst performance of ౠthe season in Thailand after dropping from fourth to 17th 🐈on the opening lap - Quartararo finished in the same position.

Like in Aragon, Quartararo’s disastrous result at Buriram was not down to an in💮dividu꧙al mistake, but instead because of a wrong front tyre pressure. 

After gaining points back on Bagnaia at Motegi when the Ducati rider crashed out on the final lap, Quartararo then handed the advantage back to the It♉alian by making a similar mistake in Phillip Island. 

His second ‘real’ error of the four disastrous races in Assen, Aragon, Buriram and Phillip Island, Quartararo lost the serie🍨s lead for the first t💞ime since taking over as championship leader in Portimao. 

But with all that said, are Yamaha more to blame for Qu♛artararo’s recen💝t collapse? 

Yamaha has been behind its main rivals Ducati and Aprilia all season in terms of pure pace, which has often been highlighted by the perf🌞ormance of its other riders.&nbs💖p;

Quartararo is the only Yamaha rider to secure a top five, podium, pole or win this season, with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Morbidelli managing one top ten as his best result🐬 (Mandalika). 

On top of that Quartararo has arguably been better than his title winning season based o✱n the consistency shown, dജoing so on a package that is often at the bottom of the top speed leaderboard, while also showing major deficiencies when following other bikes closely. 

Had Quartararo not moved up from 12th to finish third in Sepang last time out, then Bagnaia would have been crowned world champion. It was another performance that showed why Quartararo is a world champion and one that gave him a chance to compete for the title in Valencia that many꧅ other riders wouldn’t have been able to achieve with the same machin🌱ery.
