JAKARTA - Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP racer, Fabio Quartararo, said that the Italian MotoGP race at the Mugello Circuit, this weekend, would be difficult. However, he still believes he can win it.

This is reflected in the results of last season. Fabio Quartararo came out as champion of the Italian MotoGP despite experiencing difficulties.

According to Fabio Quartararo, the Mugello Circuit doesn't really match the character of the Yamaha motorcycle. Some of the straight tracks at Mugello are clearly more profitable for teams that have bikes with more power, like Ducati.

"If we are in a bad position, it will be really bad," Quartararo said, quoted by GPOne. "I prefer to say if we can score a great start, a great first lap, it will change our racing situation,"

"Qualification and the first lap of the race (will be crucial). Let's see how it goes," he continued.

The 2021 MotoGP world champion hopes that the Yamaha motorbike can look as fresh as last season at Mugello. He realized that motorbikes from other manufacturers had increased so that they had the potential to pose a big threat.

"I hope I have a speed that is not much different than last year because we all know other manufacturers have improved rapidly," he said.

"I think sectors 2 and 3 are included in our strong factor in the Italian MotoGP. Our bike is really strong there and I feel good at that corner," said Quartararo optimistically.

The eighth series of the Italian MotoGP will start on Friday, May 27 this afternoon. The agenda begins with free practice (FP)1 for MotoGP at 14.50 p.m. - 15.40 p.m. GMT+7 (Indonesian Western Time or WIB), and continues with FP 2 at 19.10 p.m. - 19.55 p.m. WIB.
