JAKARTA - Yamaha racer Fabio Quartararo made a surprising confession after failing to win the 2022 MotoGP world title. Quartararo admitted that he could not when he had to watch Francesco Bagnaia celebrate victory.

Quartararo was very emotional when he saw Bagnaia win the 2022 world title. In fact, he shed tears and had to turn off the TV to stop watching Bagnaia's celebration.

"This is the positive and negative side. I have to turn off the TV in the garage," said Quartararo, who looked annoyed, quoted from Crash.net on Monday, November 7.

"When you lose a title like this you have to find positive things. In fact, if at the moment, I feel 99 percent negative. I will have more anger to train better and fight hard in 2023," he continued.

After 15 minutes after the race in MotoGP Valencia, Quartararo admitted that it was a difficult time for him. Because the rider nicknamed El Diablo feels emotional because his desire to be able to occupy the top position of the MotoGP rider standings has not been achieved.

"Of course after the race I got emotional. I am a fighter, a winner. I want to be in first place," he said.

"Fifty minutes after the race was very difficult but it was over. We closed the books. The game only started on Tuesday," he said.

In the final series race at the Ricardo Tormo Circuit, Sunday 6 November, Quartararo, who finished fourth in the Valencia MotoGP, failed to become world champion because he was 17 points clear of Bagnaia.
