The Yamaha MotoGP program scored a significant victory in the rider market by closing a new two-year deal with their main rider, Fabio Quartararo. The 2021 world champion went through a turbulent season last year, with Yamaha’s performance dropping. Despite not being a serious contender for individual wins or championships, Quartararo decided to stay with Yamaha for the next two years. He expressed confidence in the team’s new approach and aggressive mentality, believing they will regain their competitive edge. Quartararo’s decision to stay with Yamaha is crucial for the team’s MotoGP project, as the team has implemented several changes to accelerate their return to victories. Specific details of Quartararo’s new contract have not been disclosed, and the team has not yet announced his teammate for the 2025-26 seasons. However, it is expected that Alex Rins will continue with Yamaha beyond 2024.
