Spanish GP - MotoGP: the new hero Quartararo congratulated on all sides -

Site readers were able to follow Fabio Quartararo’s victory at the 2020 Spanish Motorcycle Grand Prix on Sunday, almost live. Historically, this success earned the No. 20 of the Yamaha Petronas SRT team an avalanche of messages. Bravo Fabio again, and thank you !

Fabio Quartararo could not believe it on Sunday … But the day after his sensational victory in Jerez (Spain) during the opening Grand Prix of the 2020 MotoGP season, the many messages of congratulations, sympathy, thanks, encouragement (etc. !) allow him to better realize the magnitude of his feat !

Regis Laconi:

Honor, all honor: Regis Laconi is the third and last French rider to win the 500 cc Grand Prix. The rider who celebrated his 45th birthday on July 8, yearned to see a compatriot win a MotoGP victory. It is now done !

Johann Zarco:

In ordinary times, the hushed atmosphere of Grand Prix press conferences does not lend itself to gaudriole. This is even more true in this ultra-confined period of Covid-19. Despite this, Johann Zarco decided to celebrate, in his own way, the success of his – our – compatriot just after the race. Thanks Zarco !

French Motorcycling Federation:

At 21, the Frenchman Fabio Quartararo (Petronas Yamaha SRT) won for the first time in his career in the MotoGP World Sprint Championship this Sunday on the Jerez circuit, during the Spanish Grand Prix, first 2020 season event.

He thus enters the very small circle of French winners in the premier category. After Pierre Monneret in 1954, Christian Sarron in 1985 and Regis Laconi in 1999, he achieved a feat awaited for more than 20 years..

Youngest poleman in the history of MotoGP and crowned "Rookie of the Year" last season, Fabio confirms his rise to power and his immense talent. This race on the Jerez circuit will be remembered in French motorcycle sport and calls for other victories. Fabio is clearly in contention for the MotoGP 2020 title !

Jacques Bolle, President of the FFM: "It is a great pride for the Federation to see this boy, whom we have long supported, win this Grand Prix in the premier category. The 2000s had never seen a victory. French MotoGP. Fabio is the 4th French rider to achieve this. Bravo to him! ".

GP of France – Claude Michy:

Thank you and bravo to Fabio Quartararo for this magnificent first victory in the premier class acquired on the Jerez de la Frontera circuit on the occasion of the opening of the MotoGP World Championship.

Winner ahead of Maverick Vinales and Andrea Dovizioso, Fabio thus concludes a perfect weekend after having taken pole position yesterday.

See you next weekend for the Andalusian Grand Prix at the same Jerez de la Frontera circuit. (Editor’s note: See you also on October 9, 10 and 11 for the French Grand Prix to be held on the Bugatti circuit in Le Mans … with or without an audience?)

Yamaha Motor Europe – Eric de Seynes:

He did it!!!! Fabio Quartararo first French winner of a GP in the motogp category, and first French leader of the world motogp championship in history !! He relaunches the line of top class winners on Yamaha. After Christian Sarron and Regis Laconi, 21 years ago.

The race was intense and Fabio had a perfect race after a good start. Marc Marquez pushed a lot throughout the race, impressive but going twice wrong. We wish him the best possible recovery after his fall…

Finally, Vinales finished in 2nd place in the Grand Prix, completing Yamaha’s success in this GP. Morbidelli, 5th was not unworthy and we regret the difficulties of Valentino which forced him to give up when he was 8th, in the same rhythm as Morbidelli.

Well done to Fabio and to the SIC Yamaha Petronas team.

Michelin – Piero Taramasso:

It’s very positive to have broken the absolute lap record this weekend and the top speed, it’s always gratifying for us because it rewards all the hard work. Well done to Fabio Quartararo for his first MotoGP victory – the first in a long streak I’m sure. He set a magnificent time in qualifying, demonstrating the speed of our tires on one lap, then their consistency in the race with the same configuration of tires..

The team:

The French football championship is closed, the Tour de France is postponed to this fall, the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games are postponed to 2021 … This frees the entire front page for our "QuartarHeros" !

Roxana Maracineanu – Minister of Sports:

Christian Estrosi – Mayor of Nice:

And lots of reactions on the networks:

The comments on Fabio Quartararo’s Instagram post leave no doubt: the young pilot is being followed – and supported! – by many international motorcycle athletes (Baz, Cluzel, Guintoli and many others in speed, cross, freestyle …), car (Lewis Hamilton who also rides for Petronas in F1, in particular), pole vault (Renaud Lavillenie well sure!), etc..
