JAKARTA - Monster Energy Yamaha racer, Fabio Quartararo, appeared less than impressive on the first day of the Italian MotoGP at the Mugello Circuit, Friday, May 28. He was only able to carve the best time of 1 minute 46,519 seconds.

That puts Fabio Quartararo in ninth combined time on the first day. Obviously a position that is not wanted by the top of the MotoGP rider standings in 2022.

Fabio Quartararo admits there is a problem. He didn't feel good enough when he was on his bike.

"It's not about speed, it's about feeling and confidence," Quartararo said, as quoted by Antara from AFP.

He asserted, must immediately find a solution with the Yamaha mechanical team. This French racer does not want to lose the opportunity to stay at the top of the standings.

Currently, the 2021 MotoGP world champion is leading with a collection of 102 points. He is only four points adrift of Aleix Espargaro.

Quartararo is clearly in danger. The reason is that the Aprilia Racing rider performed well on the first day of the Italian MotoGP at the Mugello Circuit.

Aleix Espargaro took first place in the combined time of the first day with a score of 1 minute 45,891 seconds.
