Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team's Fabio Quartararo aimed for a P6-P9 result for the Sprint at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli today. A strong start to the 13-lap contest saw him achieve his goal by securing seventh place. Teammate Álex Rins retired from the Gran Premio dell'Emilia-Romagna after this morning's FP2 session due to illness.
Quartararo started from P9 and rode an aggressive opening lap, battling hard with Marco Bezzecchi. His early efforts gained him two positions. El Diablo then spent the remainder of the Sprint stalking Brad Binder, who was leading a group of four riders, all battling for sixth place. The Yamaha man lined Binder up on the final lap but couldn't get a move in. Quartararo took the chequered flag in seventh place, 8.405s from first.
Today's results see Quartararo remain in 14th place in the overall standings with 64 points. Rins stays in 20th position with 15 points. Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP keep their 9th place in the team championship with 79 points, and Yamaha hold on to 4th position in the constructor's championship with 75 points.
MotoGP will be back tomorrow for Warm Up, held from 08:40 - 08:50 (GMT +2), and the 27-lap Race, which also starts earlier than usual, at 13:00.
