Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team's Fabio Quartararo was multitasking in today's 13-lap Sprint at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. He ultimately secured 9th place in the rankings. Álex Rins had a tough Gran Premio di San Marino e della Riviera di Rimini Sprint. Falling back at the start, he had to grit his teeth and rode to 19th place across the finish line.
Quartararo started from P10 and, though battling with Alex Marquez, managed to hold the position after the first lap. A crash by Marco Bezzecchi on lap 5 saw the Frenchman move up to ninth, while the pack was starting to pull apart. El Diablo spent most of the Sprint in the rider group fighting for seventh place. He was trying to get close enough to overtake his rivals, but the Yamaha man also had to keep an eye Álex Marquez, who stayed right on his tail throughout the Sprint. Quartararo managed to keep the Spaniard at bay and took ninth place and a championship point, finishing 11.015s from first.
Rins commenced the Sprint from P20, a challenging position to be in. Sandwiched between rivals in the opening corners, he initially fell back to 22nd. But by profiting from the mistakes of other riders, it was only a matter of five laps until he was in 19th place. He managed to close the gap to Luca Marini in 18th but found no way through. Rins took the chequered flag in 19th place, 24.873s from the Sprint winner.
Today's results see Quartararo remain in 14th place in the overall standings with 52 points. Rins stays in 20th position with 15 points. Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP keep their 9th place in the team championship with 67 points, and Yamaha hold on to 4th position in the constructor's championship with 63 points.
MotoGP will be back in action tomorrow for Warm Up, held from 09:40 - 09:50 (GMT +2), and the 27-lap Race, which starts at 14:00.
