“I am happy with the results on the first day, to adjust again with the engine,” he said at the Media Center of the Mandalika Circuit to the media crew.
“Aerodynamics are likely to be important at this circuit,” continued Quartararo.
Fabio Quartararo welcomed various questions from the media crew. Including, about his experience of visiting Lombok.
“First, this sport (MotoGP-ed) is loved by many fans in Indonesia. I am happy and can’t wait to meet them,” he explained.
“The nature here is very beautiful, I also like local food but I play it safe,” he added, which was greeted with laughter.
How do you play it safe?
“I’ve been eating too much rice and chicken since yesterday,” he said, grinning.
“Before training, I have to practice and stop eating. But trying local food in an area, it’s a must,” he added.
“I’ve been to Indonesia before and tried local food. It’s delicious, but now take care of the food first, especially the spicy one,” he concluded.
