GUWAHATI, April 17: Yamaha MotoGP’s Fabio Quartararo returned from a disappointing Sprint with a terrific performance at the Americas Grand Prix in Austin on Sunday. He raised his game to another level to take third place, his first podium of the season. Franco Morbidelli on the other hand had a lonely but fruitful ride at the Circuit of The Americas, holding eighth position across the finish line.
Quartararo had another great start from seventh on the grid and was again in fourth place after the opening lap. Despite battling with the riders in the front, the Yamaha man was able to break away. Quartararo braved the Circuit of America’s track and took the chequered flag in third position, 4.936s from the race leader. After the Texas MotoGP Race, Quartararo moved up to 7th place with 34 points while Morbidelli stays in 10th in the overall standings with 29 points. With the results here, the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team move to 4th place in the team championship with 63 points, and Yamaha is fifth in the constructor’s championship with 43 points.
