Fabio Quartararo inꦡsists Moto2🅘 can be more difficult than MotoGP.

The 2021 premier class champion has had a somewhat unique journey to success because👍 he never particularly shone in the junior classes.

Quartararo was 1꧋0th and 13th in Moto3, 🦩then 13th (with Pons Racing) and 10th (with Speed Up Racing) in his two seasons as a Moto2 rider.

But he then won the🌠 MotoGP c🌳hampionship on a Yamaha at the third attempt.

"Moto2 in my opinion is the most di💟fficult category of all🌠,” he told .

“When I competed there were different riding styles and it was difficult🦄 to adapt, w🧔hile in MotoGP there is only one style and you have to follow that path.

“It was easier for me to get used to MotoGP than Moto2: the brakes 🃏were a problem at times, but in general it was like that."

‘Certainties do not exist’

Yamaha’s decline began in Quartararo’s title defence season, midway through 2🐷022.

He hasn’t won a grand prix in more than two years but committed to Yamaha, earlier this season, on a multi-ye🦋ar deal w♒hich reportedly makes him MotoGP’s highest-paid rider.

But when will the Japanese manufacturer return to winning wa🀅ys?

“Certainties do not exist𝔉 in these fields,” he said.

“If I think about the Sepang tests and th🌌e current situation, the differ♕ence is clear, since we know the path to take.

“Changing the mentality of the Japanese engineers is not trivial, but for exaꦰmple on Friday at Misano 1 we had an hour-long me💛eting, which is an important signal.

“First of all, he begܫan to chan꧟ge his mentality, and to follow the bike.

“Growing in terms of the chassis is a significant novelty for us. The 🐽initial goal is to be in Q2 more often, which changes your life over the course of a weekend."
