Fabio Quartararo knows what it means to be champion in MotoGP and is of the opinion that Jorge Martín is a worthy champion, and that he should take the opportunity to celebrate as long as possible. Due to the maturity and courage shown, even to change manufacturers, the Yamaha rider was happy to see his opponent celebrate.
Asked if in his opinion the right person won, the Frenchman gave his opinion: ‘I believe so. I believe that both Pecco and Jorge had two incredible seasons, the last two (2023 and 2024), and I believe that Jorge deserved it because he matured a lot as a rider, as a person and he really deserved this title.’
Quartararo also recalled the decision that Martín made to leave the Ducati sphere: ‘And then you know, when the factory team didn’t choose him and he had the courage to decide that it was better to leave the manufacturer… He really deserved the championship ‘.
If you remember the sensations of being champion, Quartararo added: ‘It was a long time ago, but I believe, in fact, I’m sure that everyone’s dream here is to be world champion. We know that in the end there is only one who can win and I can imagine the sensations that Jorge is feeling today, but also until next month because you have to take every opportunity to celebrate, you have to do this, and I believe it is normal. You know when you’re world champion but you don’t know when it will be for the second time, so he has to celebrate until next year’.
