Fabio Quartararo wins Andalusian MotoGP in Jerez
The next race is in the Czech Republic on Aug. 9.
Fabio Quartararo of Petronas Yamaha led from start to finish in the scorching heat of Jerez to win an incident-packed Andalusian MotoGP on Sunday.
Frenchman Quartararo, who also won the season-opening Spanish Grand Prix last weekend, cruised to victory from pole position while factory Yamaha duo of Spaniard Maverick Vinales and former champion Valentino Rossi finished second and third.
“That one was tough,” Quartararo said after a race in which eight riders crashed or retired due to technical problems.
“What an amazing feeling, it feels so good to make back-to-back wins.
“Strange conditions today, but I think it was one of the hardest races of my life.”
Victory moved Quartararo to 50 points in the world championship standings, 10 points ahead of Vinales.
