Fabio Quartararo and Maverick Vinales head to one of Yamaha's happy hunting grounds - Asseꦐn, in very different for﷽m.  

Quartararo took an important third place at Sachsenring in whatಌ he called ‘a bad weekend’, however, things were much, much worse for Vinales who finished a MotoGP race last for the first time in his career. 

Quartararo has arguably been the most consistent rider of the season t🌊o date, something he believes is key in modern MotoGP.

"In MotoGP𒆙 you need speed and consistency, and this year we have both. Finishing third at the Sachsenring w♎as good, considering we were struggling a bit that weekend," added Quartararo.  

"Being on the꧟ podium after a ’bad weekend‘ makes us feel even more positive about the future. 

"This weekend we‘re riding at TT Circuit Assen, which is one of my favouri💎te circuits🌳, and it suits the Yamaha well. I wish it was Friday already!"

The 2020 Dutch GP was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pand🌟emic, whꦅich means Vinales heads there as the last rider to win. 

The 2019 race was shaping up to be a classic as Vinales, Quartararo and Marc Marquez battled at the f🦋ront, until Quartararo struggled physically after issues from arm pump surgery resurfaced. 

Quartararo 🐲still managed to൲ claim third, while Vinales bolted clear to win comfortably from Marquez. 

Vinales will be hoping for a similar out💟come given the recent struggles of G🧸ermany, as he remains without a podium since the opening round of the season in Qatar where he took victory. 

Speaking about getting back on track as quickly as possible, th🍌e Spaniard said: "Assen is a circuit that I really like, so I‘m looking forward to riding there. I really want to get back on the M1 as soon as possible, so we can start working on the bike again. 

"After a disappointing weekend we always want to keep wꦿorking and find a way to improve.&nbꦺsp;

"We clearly have a lot of work ahead of us, but that‘s okay. I won the Dutch GP in ꦛ2019, before the pandemic, so at least we know that a similar set-up to the one we used then should be a good starting point."
