Quartararo smashes lap record twice in perfect day for Petronas


Up, up and away: French rider Fabio Quartararo of Petronas Yamaha Sepang Racing Team does a wheelie after clocking the fastest time in combined free practice in Sepang yesterday.

FABIO Quartararo continued to shift the goalposts in his rookie MotoGP season by smashing the Sepang lap record twice in the practice sessions of the Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix.

The 20-year-old Frenchman, still nursing an ankle injury sustained at the Australian Grand Prix in Phillip Island last week, lit up the timesheets during the late time attacks using a fresh soft rear tyre to set a stunning 1:58.576 at the Sepang International Circuit yesterday.
