Fabio Quartararo and the Yamaha MotoGP team extend their journey together until 2026, which means two more seasons.
The young rider from Nice, Fabio Quartararo, extends his contract with his team until the end of the 2026 season. The announcement was made this Friday on social media by the Japanese team. Since his arrival in 2019, in the premier class of motorcycle racing, the “Azuréen” became a rider for Yamaha’s satellite team. He confirmed his talent by finishing fifth and as the best rookie in the championship.
In 2021, he joined the main factory team of the Japanese manufacturer. With the official Yamaha MotoGP Team, Quartararo dominated the 2021 season with five victories and ten podiums, becoming, on October 24 at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix, the first French MotoGP world champion. For several months, numerous rumors had been swirling about the French rider’s future with the Yamaha team. His contract was set to expire at the end of the 2024 season, and he was desired by many teams. Currently 11th in the MotoGP standings and despite a challenging start to the 2024 season for the Japanese manufacturer, Fabio Quartararo has finally decided to remain with his current team.
Victim of a calf injury, we hope to see him in good form for the upcoming Grand Prix of the Americas in Austin next weekend.
