After failing to score points for the first time this season, Franco Morbidelli arrives at the MotoGP Indonesian GP this weekend. The Monster Energy Yamaha rider is currently in 12th place in the championship, two positions behind his teammate Fabio Quartararo.
The Italian believes he could have a good chance in case of rain, although he emphasizes that his commitment will remain the same regardless of the conditions: ‘We return to the Mandalika track, which is a track I like. We had a good package here in the rain last year, and our pace in the rain at the Japanese GP two weeks ago was also decent. So, should it rain, I feel we have good potential again. The forecasts don’t predict any rain, but regardless of the weather conditions, we will be pushing to get the best result possible’.
Morbidelli also commented: ‘We know that this is one of those circuits where the track conditions improve over the course of the race weekend, but it will be important to find good speed early on to be ready for time attacks’.
