Fabio Quartararo stages strong comeback at German MotoGP

French rider Fabio Quartararo overcame a poor start to the weekend at the Sachsenring, securing a sixth‑fastest qualifying time and later finishing seventh in the race, earning nine points. After initial difficulties with tire temperature and being overtaken early on, he managed his tires effectively, moved up through the field following front‑row crashes, and held his own against the leaders despite a top‑speed deficit. Quartararo also reiterated his plan to leave Yamaha after the 2026 season, with a potential move to Honda under discussion.

The performance marked a notable improvement from earlier sessions, highlighting the rider’s ability to adapt his bike settings and regain confidence on a circuit where overtaking is challenging.
