JAKARTA - Fabio Quartararo won his second successive MotoGP victory this season. The victory at the Jerez Circuit on Sunday, July 26, has earned Quartararo the title of the most successful French racer in the premier class.

The Petronas Yamaha team racer now has a maximum of 50 points to top the provisional riders' standings after the Andalusian Grand Prix. He outperformed the factory Yamaha racer Maverick Vinales who was 10 points adrift.

According to the official MotoGP page quoted by Antara, at the age of 21 years 97 days Quartararo also became the second youngest racer to win two consecutive series in the premier class. In first place is the name Marc Marquez (20 years and 154 days) who won it in the Germany and United States series in 2013.

Quartararo won both races perfectly, taking advantage of two pole positions and surviving the extremely hot track conditions at Jerez this month.

"It's tough, leading 25 laps with temperatures like this ... I think this is the hardest race of my life, to be honest," said Quartararo after winning the Andalusian Grand Prix.

"The temperature is very hot, there is no air, my hands and feet are very hot. From last week the conditions are different, we have to adapt quickly. I think that is the most difficult thing in Jerez," he continued.

Last week at the Spanish Grand Prix, Quartararo became the eighth youngest racer to win a premier class race when he won the MotoGP season opener, which was delayed by the COVID-19 pandemic. The victory was also the first time for a Yamaha satellite team racer.

The number 20 also became the first Yamaha rider to win from pole position since the last time the record was set by Jorge Lorenzo at Valencia in 2016.

He also became the first French racer to win a Grand Prix in 20 years since Regis Laconi at Valencia 1999.

The third MotoGP series will be held on August 9 in Brno, a track that has been less friendly to Yamaha in recent years.
