JAKARTA - Monster Yamaha Racing MotoGP racer Fabio Quartararo has a new mentality to pursue Francesco Bagnaia in the competition for the 2022 MotoGP title. He will be "Nothing to lose" in the remaining two series.

Bagnaia is currently leading the competition with 233 points. He is 14 points ahead of Quartararo who is in second place.

Bagnaia won the top of the MotoGP 2022 standings after finishing third in the Australian MotoGP. Meanwhile Quartararo failed to finish in the race.

In the MotoGP Malaysia race this weekend, Quartararo is ready to appear burdenless. He will try to enjoy the races he didn't feel in the previous few races.

"Especially in previous races, I didn't really enjoy it. Now I'm in a position where I don't have to think seriously about everything, just pushing myself to reach the limit," said the French racer, as quoted from the official MotoGP website via Antara.

"This is certainly a different mentality and I will make this race a different mood," he continued.

Quartararo's performance in the second half of MotoGP 2022 is sluggish. In fact, he has only gained eight points from the last four races.

Unlike Bagnaia, who got up after slumping in the first half. While 91 points behind, the Italian racer actually caught up and is now turning ahead.

With two remaining races, Bagnaia's chance to become the real champion is quite big. In fact, Valentino Rossi's students can already seal the champion at the Sepang Circuit later.
