Quartararo has enjoyed a lot of success at the TT Circuit Assen in his grand prix career, scoring podiums in all three classes of the world championship.
In 2021, he scorched to victory at the venue on his way to that year’s title and was a factor in the podium battle last year before crashing out.
In the modern MotoGP era dating back to 2002, Yamaha has won the Dutch GP 10 times.
With the 2023 season still proving to be difficult for Yamaha, Quartararo believes Assen form will essentially dictate how the rest of the campaign will go for the Japanese marque.
“For me, it’s clear a track where if we don’t go fast here, we will not be fast anywhere, because I think that basically it’s one of my favourite tracks,” Quartararo said on Thursday at Assen.
“I’ve always been fast in this track, even if you have some difficulties with the bike.
“In Sachsenring we expected to be fast, we were not fast.
“So hopefully we can make a great result and go on holiday in a great position.”
