DOHA: MotoGP championship leader Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) exuded confidence at the pre-event Press Conference that kicked the Liqui Moly Motorrad Grand Prix Deutschland into gear on Thursday.
He was joined by closest challenger, compatriot and top Independent Team rider Johann Zarco (Pramac Racing), Ducati Lenovo Team’s Jack Miller, reigning World Champion Joan Mir (Team Suzuki Ecstar), Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP’s Maverick Viñales, Catalan GP winner Miguel Oliveira (Red Bull KTM Factory Racing) and newly-signed 2022 MotoGP rider Fabio Di Giannantonio, currently competing in the Moto2 World Championship with Federal Oil Gresini Moto2.
“I’m looking forward to this as when something not good happens in the previous race it makes you eager to start the next one, so looking forward to tomorrow,” said Quartararo.
On Fabio Di Giannantonio, he added: “I think, in the past, I didn’t make many races with Fabio, but looking at his style, he is really smooth and precise. This is important for MotoGP. He will do well, but it is important he does his best for this year. I was in the same situation a couple years ago, where I had my contract for the Sachsenring and I was so excited, but the important thing is to stay focused until the end of the season. He will enjoy the first test, and I wish him luck with the first straight on the MotoGP bike!”
