Fabio Quartararo d💜iscusses Aprilia, who reportedly made him an offer which he rejected

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo has spoken about Aprilia’s interest in him.
Quartararo ༒reportedly rejected a €4m-per-year offer from Aprilia to pen a new deal with Yamaha, worth three times the amount.
Now the highest-paid rider in MotoGP, he explained at the MotoGP Grand Pri🅷x of the Americas why he chose to stick with his un✃derperforming team.
"I have 🍎spoken with a🍷ll the brands,” Quartararo told .
“Aprilia was one of the brands that I liked, because it𝔍 is different.
“There are not so many riders on the same bike.
“But in the end we have had all the papers of all the b🐠rands on the table and the project I really liked was Yamaha in the future.
"In Portugal we have had a fairly long discussion with the manage❀ment of Yamaha, and the engineers, to see in more detail the entire project between now and the end of the year, 2025 and 2026.
“We have seen very interesting things, things that I cannot t🦹ell yet.
“Really seeing Yamaha's interest in me has been one of the reasons why I decid♛ed to be in the team.
"It has more to do with structure, technical things, peoplജe...
“Yamaha is investing a lot to develo☂p the mꦍotorcycle. It already started in January 2024.
“The arrival of engineers with exp🐓erience in other brands has seen that very important things were missing for the capacity of the motorcycle and Yamaha is investing to do ꦅeverything very quickly and in the best way.
"Things are coming for this year and many more for the futureꦗ.”
Massimo Bartolini was later name-checked as crucial. The ex-Ducati engineer has joined Yam𓆏aha to be their technical director.
Quartararo’s Yamaha still lags behind ♒the Aprilias which h♈e rejected.
In Texas this weekend༺, he and teammate Alex Rins can again display their bike’s development on the track.
But Quartar𒁃aro’s decision to stay with Yamaha was ultimately a long-term, and a lucrative, choice.
The knock-on effect for Aprilia’s bid to establish themselves as Ducati’s top challengers is to decide whether to stick with their exper♔ienced duo of Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinal🐓es for next year.
