Fabio Quartararo opted for a unique tyre strategy in the MotoGP sprint race at Portimao, using the medium rear tyre as opposed to the soft.
Still a big margin for someone of Quartararo’s talent, it is however a step forward for Yamaha who also managed to get both bikes directly into Q2 thanks to Quartararo and Alex Rins’ strong performance on Friday.Choosing a different tyre strategy to most, Quartararo said: “I expected the race of today to go like that because we were the only one with the medium rear.
Quartararo was following Espargaro for much of the race, which could be even more valuable for himself if he joins Aprilia next season.
