168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo reportedly receive༒d an offer to leave Y🌺amaha from Aprilia.

But the 2021 MotoGP champion ignored it, and penned a new two-year deal 𒁏to stick with Yamaha.

His new contract makes him the to🌜p-earni𝓰ng rider in MotoGP, on terms worth €12m per year.

Aprilia 💜offered Quartararo a♏ deal worth only €4m per year,  report.

At just a thiဣrd of the value of the contract on the table from Yamaha, Quartararo opted to stay put.

Aprilia knew that they not could com꧒pete with Yamaha on a financial front🐲 when they started speaking to Quartararo about his future several months ago.

But, they hoped that the competitiveness of their RS-GP would tempt him to make a decision🌟 similar to Marc Marquez’s.

Marquez opted to quit his&ꦐnbsp;€20m-per-year Honda contract (which made him MotoGP’s top-earner) and instead go to Gresini Ducati for a more competiti𒐪ve package.

Aprilia also entered 2024 aiming to establish thems💮elves as the closest conওtenders to Ducati.

Although KTM’s Brad Binder currently🍰 sits second in the standings, Maverick Vinales’ sprint race win in Portimao offered a glimpse of what Aprilia could do.

Other manufacturers were not in a position to ma𓆉ke a serious offe🐠r to Quartararo that rivalled Yamaha’s.

Ducati have locked down Francesco Bagnaia on 🎀a deal worth a basic €6m-peওr-year already.

Theꦓy are also weighing up how to finance - and whether to fit in - the futures of Marquez and Jorge Martin.

That ඣmeant Quartararo could only fit in at a Ducati satellite team with the financial and technical disadvantages that come with it.

KTM are prioritising the evolution of Pedro Acosta, and possꦜess the high-flying Binder already.

They ar꧒e also credited with an interest in acquiring𒁃 Marquez next year which will hit them in the pocket.

And Honda? Although they possess f⭕inancial muscle, their bike is even worse than Yamaha’s at the moment.

Quartararo made the decision to become the most well-paid MotoG♊P rider and stay patient as he helps the development of the Yamaha, however long 🤪that takes…
