Valentino Rossi understands Fabio Quartararo: “So it is very difficult”

The great champion’s defense of one of his heirs.

Valentino Rossi has returned to have his say regarding the rainbow duel that has characterized the 2022 MotoGP world championship. And if the ‘Doctor’ praised both Pecco Bagnaia and Fabio Quartararo, it is towards the latter that he expressed his solidarity.

“In the last championship Pecco and Fabio proved to be the two strongest riders,” said Valentino Rossi, as reported by ‘Crash.net.’ “It is also fair to say that only they and Jorge Martin in qualifying gave their best without exploiting the trails of the others. They were the best.”

For Valentino Rossi, then, it was the bikes that made the difference. “The Yamaha as always remains very well balanced, but the Ducati is currently much superior as engine power. And that creates a very important difference. For Quartararo to fight for the title in these conditions was extremely difficult,” concluded the Tavullia star.
