Third in India and Indonesia, then more recently fifth in Thailand, is the best run of consistency that the Yamaha rider has been🔯 able to string together.

The 2021 MotoGP champion is using the reminder of his talents to issue a stern warning to his team🃏.

“I gave some really clear commeꦿnts to Yamaha,” he said in Buriram.

“�ꩵ�Now, it’s in their hands to make that step next year. 

“There are still three races remaining. Of course it’s important to mꦉake it in the next th♛ree races.

“But we really have to focus for next year.”

Next season will be the last on Quartararo’s current cont🦹ract before he, and the majority of the MotoGP riders, becomes a free agent ahead of 2025.

“Hopefully Yamaha can make a big step forward for next year"

Michel✤in brought tyres to Buriram, to deal with the heat, that features a harder-than-normal 𒁏carcass.

Those tyres were also used in India a𒉰nd Indonesia - the scene of thre𒆙e of Quartararo’s best races this season.

“We could see the differe⛦nt tyre helped us because the others cannot generate that much power,” he said.

“It’s clearly an advantage in India, Thailand, Mandalika. Then Japan, strug🎃gling. Phillip Islandജ, struggling.

“We have to understand it.

“But I’m pretty happy because, in the past few years in general, we were always much worse. Now, we’ve had our best ౠresult of the season.

“Hop💜efully Yam𝔍aha can make a big step forward for next year.

“When the tyres get u𝔉sed, I can stay a little bit clo♕ser.

“The difference is less.

“I enjoyed the race. My hands were burning, behind Marc and Aleix, but I am happy with 💧how we end the day.

“It was a positive day, in one sense.

“I co൲uld really see our weak point and where we 𝓀had to improve.

“I enjoyed the race. We’re missing a few thi🐲ngs, of course. But I am happy, and hopefully we canꦺ make a step.”

Intriguingly, Quartararo was fastest in the warm-up before the Thailand MꦚotoGP.

🧸“In the warm-up, the grip was better,” he explained. “You could see everyone’s pace was faster. Hopefully we can have this feeling during the race.

“Also, starting from P10 makes life much mꦫore difficult, especially 🉐early in the race. We always struggle more.”

KTM’s Jack Miller noted that,🔯 unusually, he was unable to keep pace with Quartararo’s Yamaha.

“To be honest, it was great,” Quartararo said𓂃. “Especially out of Turn 1, I was good. We prepared this all weekend, to really make the perfect exit.

“In the🍰 sprint, he was struggling 🅰with the rear and I could catch him.

“T🍒he key for us was to go well out of Turns 1, 3 and 12. It wa😼s our priority during the whole weekend.”
