Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. confirms Fabio Quartararo as the Factory Yamaha rider for the 2025 and 2026 MotoGP seasons. Keeping the talented French rider in the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team was a top priority for the Iwata factory, and Yamaha is making every effort to support Quartararo. His decision to “stay with the Team Blue” was positively influenced by the strong commitment Yamaha has made to return to victory with the continuous development of the YZR-M1.
Although they are “only” in their fourth year together, the Quartararo-Yamaha combination is already considered a natural pairing among MotoGP fans. The successful partnership led to Quartararo’s first MotoGP World Championship title in 2021, in his first season with the factory team, and second place in the title race in 2022.
Other highlights of Quartararo’s Yamaha resume include 8 race wins and 21 podiums with the factory team during the 2021-2024 seasons, as well as 3 race wins and 10 podiums with the satellite team in the two previous years. In addition, he secured 16 pole positions and 41 front row starts in a total of 93 Grand Prix weekends aboard the YZR-M1.
These achievements, along with his undeniable abilities, unmatched motivation, and cheerful and infectious personality, make Yamaha fully confident in its partnership with the 24-year-old.
Fabio Quartararo en declaraciones dijo: ‘Estoy muy feliz de anunciar que continuaré mi aventura en el equipo. El invierno pasado, Yamaha me demostró que tiene un nuevo enfoque y una nueva mentalidad agresiva. Mi confianza es alta: vamos a volver a estar juntos en la parte delantera.’
‘Hace seis años, me dieron la oportunidad de subir al MotoGP y desde entonces hemos logrado grandes cosas juntos. Todavía tenemos un largo camino por delante para volver a luchar por la victoria. Voy a trabajar duro y estoy seguro de que, juntos, alcanzaremos nuestro sueño una vez más.’
