“No deadline” but Fabio Quartararo will “listen to everyone” for 2025 MotoGP contract
Fabio Quartararo: 'There is no🎃 deadline. No proper talks ꦛyet with Yamaha.'

Yamaha will have been relieved to hear star rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo say he has no fixed deadline in mind for deciding his 2025 MotoGP future.
But the Frenchman also indicatedജ he will be open to offers from ri♓val manufacturers; “we have to listen to everyone.”
Yamaha suffered its first winless𓆉 season since 2003 last year, with former world champion Quartararo also sinking to a new personal low 🍸of tenth in the standings.
Earlier this week,ꦓ ex-title rival and reigning double champion Francesco Ba💫gnaia became the first rider of the year to officially put pen to paper for 2025, in the form of a new two-year Ducati deal.
However, Quartararo is prepared to wait and see the outcome of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:latest ‘phase’ of Yamaha’s MotoGP re🐻structuring, centred around the signing of key ex-Ducati engineers Marco Nicotra and Max Bartolin♑i.
“No, there is no deadline. No proper talks yet with ❀Yamaha,” Quartararo said on the eve of the Qatar season opener.
“So I think I will need a little bit of𒀰 time to see also the project, the mentality of the team, how it's going with these new engineers.
🎉“At the moment, I can say that they are making steps… But I think we have to listen to everyone.”
Quꦉartararo heads into his sixth MotoGP season, all spent on Yamaha machinery, confident that new access to technical concessions will also ಌaccelerate the M1’s recovery.
“I think it's really important, especially to have many things that we can change on the bi🌊ke,” he said. “To be able to test more during the season will be great… also because we have only have two bikes.”
While enginꦏe performance has taken a step forward over the winter, qualifying speed remains a 🐼concern and testing closed with the Yamahas of Quartararo and new team-mate Alex Rins still facing a clear gap to the leading machines from Ducati, Aprilia and KTM.
“The bigger change we had during the winter꧅ was the top speed. And we areꦇ pretty happy with that,” said Quartararo.
“Maybe over one lap it will not make the difference, but to fight in a race, I think it could be much easier to prepare an overtake or be closer to the guy in front. “And I think we can ride more in a similar ♍way to the other manufacturers.”
However, “there are many areas where we have to improve. Also last year, the pace was always much better than oꦬn a [flying] lap and we know how important it is to be in Q2 from Friday afternoon.
“There are some areas like electroജnics, the way we are using the rear tyre going into the corner is something that we are a little bit worse every year.
“So we have to get a little bit back like in ‘19 or ’21, when the way we were riding was much more smoot൲h. I think we need much more time to understand completely what we need.”
As such, Quartararo concedes it’s di⛄fficult to know when the M1 will be ready to win🗹 again.
“Well, hopefully as soon as possible,ℱ” Quartararo said. “But it's difficult to predict when the bike is going to bౠe ready.
“Last year I was not able to be better than🅷 third. So hopefully we can fight this year for theཧ victory in the occasion where we feel we can.
“But I think that we have to do it step by step and not thinking al𒁃ready about the win but try to be into the top five. And then stepping up.”
Quartararo finished seventh in las𝓀t November๊'s Qatar race and was 14th on the recent testing timesheets.
