Quartararo in the official Yamaha team with Viñales in 2021 and 2022 !

Yamaha panics the MotoGP transfer market: the official team announces the recruitment of the young prodigy from Nice Fabio Quartararo the day after the two-year extension of Maverick Viñales’ contract ! Consequence: Valentino Rossi will either have to retire at the end of 2020 or bounce back on the M1 Petronas-SRT satellite. Explanations.

Cock-a-doodle Doo ! France will have a new representative in an official MotoGP team from 2021, which has not happened for almost fifteen years in the premier class: it was in 2006 and 2007, when Randy de Puniet was riding the Kawasaki ZX- Factory RR !

The lucky winner is Fabio Quartararo, who will join the official Yamaha team alongside Maverick Viñales for the 2021 and 2022 seasons. This nomination of the 20-year-old from Nice is not really a surprise given his incredible first season on the Private M1 of the Petronas SRT (Sepang Racing Team): seven podiums including five second places, six pole positions and a fantastic 5th place overall !

"What a dream !"

El Diablo has also fought several times against Marc Marquez, even to the point of coming close to his first victory in the premier class after a splendid pass of arms with the eight-time world champion of the Grand Prix! Yamaha, aware of its value, had already secured its rear by providing it this year with a motorcycle and factory support.

"What a dream! I will be part of the Monster Energy Yamaha team for 2021/2022!", Rejoices Fabio Quartararo who thanks "all the people who always support me like my family, my manager and my friends. Thank you again to Yamaha to believe in me for the future and in Petronas Yamaha Sepang Racing Team ".

"I am delighted with what my manager has achieved in recent months with Yamaha", continues the surprising n ° 20: "it was not easy to establish, but now I have a clear plan for the next three years and I I’m really happy. I’m going to work hard, like last year, and I’m extremely motivated to perform well. The winter period seems too long to me, I can’t wait to go to the Sepang test next week to pilot my new YZR-M1 and find my team ".
