In all ten races of the 2022 world championship, that of Fabio Quartararo it was the fastest Yamaha on the track, and therefore the Frenchman brought to Iwata all 172 championship points that propel it to second place among the manufacturers (-49 behind Ducati). The difference between ‘El Diablo’ and its brand mates is huge, given that the first Yamaha in the drivers standings other than the number ’20’ added the misery of 25 points total and is 19th (that of Franco Morbidelli). And also at the Sachsenring the time trial ruled a 29-second gap between the winner and Iwata’s first bike, that of his teammate, thirteenth at the finish line out of sixteen riders left in the race. The difference is really wide, and it makes even more sensation if you consider that Franco Morbidelli (3 wins in MotoGP) and Andrea Dovizioso (15 wins in the premier class) are centaurs with proven talent and experience.
Jorge Lorenzoprofound connoisseur of Yamaha, confessed to the Spaniards of As to have been surprised by these data: “It amazes me how much Quartararo is light years ahead of the other Yamaha riders. No.In the last 20 years, as far as I remember, I believe that Yamaha has never been in a worse position in terms of competitiveness of the bike, Quartararo excluded. The others are constantly in the last positions, but he manages to win races and be the leader of the world championship. It reminds me a little of when Stoner won with Ducati and the other brand mates were far behind, or Marquez with Honda. The Yamaha of my time was a winning bike with two riders, but now there is a lot of difference between the same officers“. The five-time world champion then drew a parallel between his style and that of Quartararo: “The similarity I see that, like me, does not slide the bike and has a very round riding style. He sticks out a lot from the bike, like me, and above all he doesn’t make mistakes ”.
