Quartararo was crowned Mot♐oGP in 2021 after looking like the favourite to win in 2020 before fading as the season w💙ent on.

Quartararo then started 2022 in fine form and looked like being a back-to-back champion, before losing a 91-p𒈔oint advantage to Francesco Bagnaia.

A big෴ reason for that was Yamaha falling down the pecking order, and despite the Japanese manufacturer struggling towards the end of 2023, the French rider has not shifted his 💜aims heading into 2024.

Speaking to ✃Monster Energy, Quartararo said: “Every season that I get on the bike, my goal is to be world champion.&nbs꧂p;

“Maybe I will not achieve it but that is my mindset at the beginning of the season. For me the attitude of a world champion🍰 or a top athlete is to always bring a smile to t🍷he people that is working with you.”

The factory Yamaha rider also spoke about how he got i𒉰nto﷽ the sport, which came about after moving to Spain due to needing a higher level of competition.

Not a big name, Quartararo’s dad instead played a bigger role in his son’s developꩲment. 

Quartararo said: “I got into racing b꧂ecause my dad used to race in the past. He was not a high level rider but basically he put me into it and straight away I loved it. 

“To develop myself like a professional rider, we decided with my dad that we would goꦚ to the championship in Spain because they had the highest level of riders at this young age. 

“Step-by-step I 𓄧was moving up until I arrived at the world championship. Then I jumped to into Moto3, Mot✃o2 and then the big class.”
