Fabio Quartararo already has a MotoGP World Championship title to his name at just 24 years old. He made his debut in the FIM CEV Moto3 over a decade ago, where he became a two-time champion before making the leap to the world championships. But how did it all begin?
In an interview with Monster Energy, the French rider admitted that his passion for motorcycling was instilled in him by his father: ‘My dad was racing in the past. He was not a high level rider. So basically he put me into it and I loved it straightaway’.
From that point on, Quartararo recalled, he embarked on his journey to MotoGP: ‘To develop myself as a professional rider, we decided with my dad making the championship in Spain that was the highest level of riders at this young age. And step by step I was stepping up until the World Championship. Then Moto3, Moto2 and arriving to the bigger class’.
