A destiny. Prior to the 2021 MotoGP, Fabio Quartararo co-opted Valentino Rossi’s place in the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP factory team.

Valentino Rossi also had to go down to the Petronas Yamaha SRT satellite team. Now when MotoGP 2021 only has three series left, Fabio Quartararo has a special opportunity.

Yes, in the Emilia Romagna MotoGP race at the Misano Circuit, October 24 later or Valentino Rossi’s home race , Fabio Quartararo has the opportunity to lock the 2021 season title.

Now Fabio Quartararo is already 52 points ahead of second place, Pecco Bagnaia. It is undeniable, the French racer has a very big chance of being the key to the world champion title at Misano.

Incidentally Valentino Rossi will retire at the end of MotoGP 2021 and the Emilia Romagna MotoGP race is The Doctor’s last race on Italian soil.

Difficult Comparison
Now, there are many assumptions that Fabio Quartararo will continue the figure of Valentino Rossi as a Yamaha icon.

However, the 22-year-old racer emphasized that it is very difficult to compare himself with Valentino Rossi, who has felt a lot of success in the MotoGP event.

“I can’t compare myself to Valentino Rossi. This is a special time for me,” said Fabio Quartararo.

“At the beginning of the year when I took his place in the team, I was very worried. I took the place of the king of MotoGP. After doing this, it is really very special,” he continued.

Not Sticking to the Key to the MotoGP Emilia Romagna
Fabio Quartararo has so far collected 254 points, leading 52 points from Francesco Bagnaia in second place. That way, he only needs 24 points in the remaining three races, including the Emilia Romagna MotoGP on 24 October.

Even so, Quartararo did not want to insist. He chose to relax and not be obsessed with winning at the Misano Circuit.

Quartararo feels that they will face tough opponents, including Bagnaia who has a good record at Misano. As is known, Bagnaia successfully climbed the highest podium in the same place.

“Of course I can win there, but I’m not obsessed with winning it. We’re ahead by a good margin in the table, so I don’t want to be pressured into thinking that everything has to be done at Misano,” said Quartararo.

“Last we raced at the Misano Circuit, Pecco (Francesco Bagnaia) was outstanding,” he said again.
