Quartararo has made clear ꦜhis displeasure at riding an uncompetitive bike which gave him no hope of co༺mpeting for the MotoGP championship this year.

And the French rider has pinpointed next month’s Misano test - where Yam🌺aha will trial their 2024 plans - as the moment he will understand if the future is bright or not.

Yamaha mana🎶ging director Lin Jarvis was asked by if he feared losing Quartararo to Honda, and replied: “I don’t like the word ൲‘afraid’. 

“I am aware, and⭕ one of t♋he risks comes from Honda.

“Because Honda will want a tꦓop rider, and Fabi🧜o is one.

“To 🐼keep him, we w👍ill have to have a competitive bike.

“We really muꩵst demonstrate with the fac꧒ts that we are fully focused.”

Quartararo is contrꦉacted to Yamaha for 2024, where Alex Rins will be his new teammate instead of ꦚFranco Morbidelli.

“The rider market next♓ year will show 🍌some interesting movements,” Jarvis said.

“Will Mar🍎c Marquez stay or retire, continue with🐓 Honda or another manufacturer?

“What I know💯 is that we must change our development system.

“We are open, maybe we will 🌠have a V4 in the future. There is still potential in our package.”

Jarvis insisted that Yamaha can return to gﷺlory as the team who delivered Valentino Rossi’s heyday and Quartararo’s 2021 c﷽hampionship.

“This yea❀r we have lost our competitiveness,” he said. “But two years ago we won the world championship with Fabio.

“And we were leadiꦯng the championship un💞til mid-2022.

“The reality is that the European manufacturers🌠 have overtaken the Japanꩵese.

“These are situatio🎃ns that can happen in motorsport, in F1 as well.

“Will this still be the case in 2024? We can🐻’t know.

“🍌We’re not that far away, we’re just losing enough to not be in Q2.”
