Despite winning tཧhe 2021 MotoGP World Championship, Fabio Quartararo doesn’t feel like the number one rider and therefore ☂won’t change to the #1 plate in 2022. 

🍨In fact, Quartararo has decided against using the number - last used by Casey Stoner🌃 in 2012, at any point in his career.

"We will not see this number because I started w🎃ith the #20 and♊ I feel like I’m not number one,” said the new world champion," said Quartararo. 

"I will keep going with thꦫe #20 until the end of my career because it’s the number that made me really want to start when I was four. It’s a really special number🥀."

With the riders’ title now in the bag for Quartararo, Yamaha could become the firsওt manufacturer to complete a triple crown since Re𝓰psol Honda managed the feat in 2019. 

For that to happen, Quartararo claiming a second win of the year at Portimao would go a long way, however, the Frenchman is likely to need help from other Yamaha riders as Ducati lead the manufacturers championship by 12 points💯 - one point less than the advantage Yamaha holds over them in the teams’ title. 

But despite ♛Yamaha relying heavily on Quartararo’s shoulders for this to happen, the 22 year-old feels no pressure 🌳after already achieving his personal goal. 

Quartararo added: "Honestly, I won’t say it’s pressure because I alr🧸eady achieved my goal. But I will give my best and of course, I come here to fight for the victory, for the podium, but it’s something I can’t really control. 

"I will give my best but we will see the final result. It would be nice to mak♈e that (triple crown) and to see if we caꦺn achieve it."
