Forget Moto3 in terms of chaos, could MotoGP be just as crazy due to it being closer than ever according to world champion Fabio Qꦯuartararo?&𝔉nbsp;

This weekend’s opening round of the 2022 MotoGP World Championship will see Q▨uartararo kick off his title defence, a defence that could turn out to be extremely difficult given th⛦e level of competition currently in grand prix racing.

If Quartararo is to retain his title, he w♒ill need to do so with one of the least developed machines from last season, as the Fren🍌chman was largely unimpressed by the lack of top speed gains made by Yamaha in pre-season. In fact, none were made at all according to the Yamaha rider.

Quartararo is viewed aꦡs one of a few riders who could potentially make up for a package th🍌at’s slightly less competitive and still be at the front. 

However, with♉ Honda, Ducati, Suzuki and Aprilia seemingly taking big steps forward, Quartararo is perh꧋aps facing a scenario where more than double the number of riders that won a race last season could do so in 2022.

Asked about both pre-season tests which resulted in the top 18 (Sepang) and 21 (Mandalika) being split by less than a second and what it meanᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚs for this year, the world champion said: "It will make life more difficult. But I think for the show it’s nice to have not such 🌞a big difference. 

"I remember, not five but maybe ten years ago there were a few riders and then the rest. Now, basically everything is so tight and the level of riders is really high. Now it’s the closest 📖ever."

One rider, who could and very much would like to be amongst t🐲he podium battles on a more consistent basis is Brad Binder, who believes Moto3 style racing may be on the cards this Sunday.  

Binder added: "I expect it to be ꦇan insane year. Times are closer than ever like you said and it’s super competitive. Iꦕ expect Moto3 style racing on Sunday. 

"It’s definitely going to be super cool to watch, ꦿbut let’s see how it all pans out."
