Third in India and Indonesia, then more recently fifth in Thailand, is the b🍎est run of consistency that the Yamaha rider has been able to string together.

The 2021 MotoGP champion is using the reminder of his 🔯talents to issue🃏 a stern warning to his team.

“I gave some reall♍y c🌠lear comments to Yamaha,” he said in Buriram.

“Now, it’s in their hands to make that 💫step n🌟ext year. 

“There are still three races remaining. Of course it’s important to make it in the next💧 three races.

“But we really have to focus for next year.”

Next season will be the last on Quartararo’s current contract before he, and the majority of the MotoGP riders, becomes aꦺ free agent ahead of 2025.

“Hopefully Yamaha can make a big step forward for next year"

Michelin brought tyres to Buriram, to deal with the h꧒eat, that features a harder-than-normal carcass.

Those tyres were also used in India and Indonesia - the scene of th✨ree of Quartararo’s best races this season.

“We could see the diffe♈rent tyre helped us because the others cannot generate that much power,” he said.

“It’s clearly an advantage in India, Thailand, Mandalika. Then Japan,🌟 struggling. Phillip Island, struggling.

“We have to understand it.

“But I’m pretty happy because, in the past few years in general, we were always much wo🐻rse. Now, we’ve had our best result of the season.

“Hopefully Yamaha can make🃏 a big stepꦏ forward for next year.

“When the tyres get used, I can stay a li💦ttle bit 🐬closer.

“The difference is less.

“I enjoyed the race. My𝄹 hands were burning, ꩵbehind Marc and Aleix, but I am happy with how we end the day.

“It was a positive day, in one sense.

“I could really see our weak point and where 🧔we had to i๊mprove.

“I enjoyed the race. We’re missing a few things, of course. But I♓ am happy, and hopefully we can make a step.”

I❀ntriguingly, Quartararo was fastest in the warm-up before the Thail👍and MotoGP.

“In the warm-up, the grip was better,” he explained. “You could see everyone’sᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ pace was faster. Hopefully we can have this feeling dur🥂ing the race.

“Also, starting from P10 makes l🥂ife much more difficult, especially early in the race. We always struggle more.”

KTM’s Jack Mi�⭕�ller noted that, unusually, he was unable to keep pace with Quartararo’s Yamaha.

“To be honest,𝓰 it was great,” Quartararo said. “Especiall🌱y out of Turn 1, I was good. We prepared this all weekend, to really make the perfect exit.

“In the sprint, he wꦓas struggling with the rear and I could catch him.

“The key for us was to go welღl out of Turns 1, 3 and 12. It was our priority during the whole weekend.”
