With his victory at the British GP, Monster Energy Yamaha’s Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha) made an important step towards the MotoGP title and secured a 65-point lead at the top of the championship. Michele Pirro, Ducati test rider, believes the rival team’s rider is well on the way to winning the title, but stressed that nothing will be decided until it is mathematically possible for other riders to claim the title.
Compared to Motosprint, the # 51 mentioned that the Frenchman could well become the champion if he keeps his previous trajectory: ‘It seems that Quartararo has found a way to be in almost perfect shape this year. It is clear that if he continues like this, he could achieve the world title. However, I believe that until the mathematical decision is made, everyone should believe that they can win, especially in a long championship like MotoGP.
Speaking to Ducati in particular, Pirro said that he is absolutely confident in the team: “I am sure that Ducati has great talent and that the great joys we deserve will come soon. We have great potential and it just depends on bringing all parts together to achieve the goal. “
