#3 Quartararo is something special
Eight premier class races, three Poles already. MotoGP might have just stumbled upon a new star in the name of Fabio Quartararo.
He's fast, he's smart and most importantly he doesn't make too many mistakes under pressure. During the race, while Vinales and Marquez were tripping over each other, Quartararo hardly made any mistake.
He was losing out on the straight because of the wind which helped Marc to close up on him but all in all, you have to admire the season Quartararo is putting together in just his first iteration.
It's even shocking to see how little of a hype train there was behind him while we had the Hondas and Suzukis of the grid fighting for Joan Mir.
Fabio is currently riding the wheels off that bike and he's currently placed in a handy position where if Valentino Rossi decides to step down, he could replace him at the factory team.
Assen showed a glimpse of "what could be" if Yamaha gets its act together and builds a better bike with Quartararo, Vinales, and Marc fighting it out every race.
