Fabio Quartararo honour awarded by French president dates back to Napoleon
The Ch෴evalier de la Légion D'Honneur is France’s highဣest order of military and civil merit

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo has been honoured with&nbs🙈p;France’s highest 🦄order of military and civil merit.
The Chevalier de la Légion D'Honneur was bestowed upon the MotoGP r𓄧ider by France President Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace in Paris.
It is the highest honour in France and dates⛎ back to Napoleon🐭.
He is just the third French motorsports star to receive the award, after Sebastian Loeb and Alain🐓 Prost.
Quartararo won the 2021 MotoGP championship and only missed out🧸 on retaining his title on the final day of 2022.
But last year, Quartararo endured a dreadful campai༒gn blighted by his below-par Yamaha.
He secured just three podiums and finished 10th in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings, his worst result in his൩ five years💎 in the premier class.
New concessions rules will allow Yamaha a big chance to close the gap to the front-runners༺ Ducati.
Thosꦰe rules mean Quartararo and new teammate Alex Rins can be on track from February 1 at the Sepang shakedown.
But they will continue to be resꦫtricted by having only two bikes on the 2024 grid, compared to four for KTM, Aprilia 🔯and Honda, and eight for Ducati.
Quartararo is also entering the final year of his curr🔥ent contract with Yamaha.
All but two MotoGP riders are☂ also in the final ﷽year of deals with their manufacturers meaning a rider merry-go-round could commence from this summer, with Quartararo inevitably hot property.
How the Yamaha M1 shapes up from t💫he Sepang shakedown will be the first step in Quartararo deciding his long-term future.
