Never has a celebration been so painful;

never a first place caused such a bad face;

never a question, a single question, required so much effort.

This Saturday,

Fabio Quartararo

got pole position in Alcañiz, the fourth of the year, another success for the prodigy, and all he wanted to do right after was lie down, drop down, rest.

To get to his Yamaha he had needed crutches and, not finding them when he got off it, the typical post-qualifying ceremony became an ordeal for the leader of the MotoGP World Championship.

His hip ached as if it had been hit at almost 200 km / h because a few hours before it had been hit at almost 200 km / h.

In the first practice session this Saturday, his motorcycle sent him violently out of turn 14 of the Aragonese circuit and the blow made him foresee his goodbye for the whole season.

Stretcher, ambulance, hospital, the path of misery was marked, the championship confirmed that it does not want an owner, but Quartararo rebelled against everything and returned to the track.

In his first opportunity, he set the best time and when

Maverick Viñales

disputed his position, the Frenchman lowered his record even further to regain pole position.

Now it will be difficult to deny that he has the forms of a champion.

After all, with only five races to go, Quartararo is back in Alcañiz in a position to get close to the title.

In any case, if the Yamaha rider wins, he will place a hand on the cup, as his opponents will have no margin.

Next week they will also run in Bajo Aragón and doubts haunt two of them.

The second in the championship,

Joan Mir

, only managed to place sixth on the grid in a circuit that clearly benefits the Yamaha and the third,

Andrea Dovizioso

, directly resigned.

After being overtaken by his Ducati teammates

Danilo Petrucci

and

Jack Miller

, he was left out of Q2 and was carried away by the anger of his life.

Educated as he is, the most formal rider in the paddock, he arrived at his garage and, for the first time, threw his gloves against a wall to show his dissatisfaction with the group work.

Once again, and there are already many, the podium will be a chimera for him.

His only aspiration is to save the day and for Quartararo to fail this Sunday (3pm, DAZN) after a Saturday of true champion.
