"Last year in Jerez I could have won easily if it hadn't been for the arm problem. I'll try again on Sunday."
Reassured by his first success of the season, taken last weekend in Portugal, Fabio Quartararo arrives in Spain at the top of the world rankings, shared with Alex Rins, a Spaniard from Suzuki, also at 69 points.
"In Portimão we were lucky in a way because it is a circuit that adapts quite well to our bike - adds the Yamaha rider -. Jerez is another of those circuits that highlight our strengths, so I'll do my best."
