“No deadline” but Fabio Quartararo will “listen to everyone” for 2025 MotoGP contract
Fabio Quartararo: 'There is 💛no deadline. No proper talks yet ✅with Yamaha.'

Yamaha will have been relieved to hear star rider 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo say he has no fixed deadline in mind for deciding his 2025 MotoGP future.
But the Frenchman also indicated h꧒e will🦹 be open to offers from rival manufacturers; “we have to listen to everyone.”
Yamaha su🌊ffered its first winless season since 2003 last year, with former world champion Quartararo also sinking to a new personal low of tenth in the standings.
Earlier this week, ex-title rival and reigning double champion Francesco Bagnaia became the first rider of the year to officia𓆉lly put pen to paper for 2025, in the form of a new two-year Ducati deal.
However, Quartararo is prepared to wait and see the outcome of the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:la🌠test ‘phase’ of Yamaha’s MotoGP restructuring, centred around the sℱigning of key ex-Ducati engineers Marco Nicotra and Max Bartoliniಞ.
“No, there is no deadline. No proper talks yet with Yamaha,” Qu🐬artararo said on the eve of the Qatar season opener.
“So I think I will need a little b🌠it of time to see also the project, the mentality of the team, how it's going with these new engineers.
“At the moment, ▨I can say that they are making steps… But I think we have to listen to everyone.”
Quartararo ✃heads into his sixth MotoGP season, all spent on Yamaha machinery, confident that new𝔉 access to technical concessions will also accelerate the M1’s recovery.
“I think it's ꧋really important, especially to h🔯ave many things that we can change on the bike,” he said. “To be able to test more during the season will be great… also because we have only have two bikes.”
While engine performance has taken a step forward over the winter, qualifying speed remains a concern and testing closed with the Yamahas of Quartararo and new team-mate Alex Rins still facing a clear gap to the leading macꦚhines from Ducati, Aprilia and KTM.
“The bigger change we had during the winter was tܫhe top speed. And we are pretty happy with that,” said Quartararo.
“Maybe over one lap it will not make the difference, but to fight in a race, I think it could be much easier to prepare an overtake or be closer to t𓄧he guy in front. “And I think we can ride more in a similar way to the other manufacturers.”
However, “there are many areas where we ha𝄹ve to improve. Also last year, the pace was always much better 🌳than on a [flying] lap and we know how important it is to be in Q2 from Friday afternoon.
“There are some areas like electronics, the way we are using the rear tyre going into the corner is something that we ar🌸e a little bit worse every year.
“So we have to get a little bit back like in ‘19 or ’21, when the way we were riding was muchꦺ more smooth. 💛I think we need much more time to understand completely what we need.”
As suꦛch, Q🌳uartararo concedes it’s difficult to know when the M1 will be ready to win again.
“Well, hopefully as soon as possible,” ⛄Quartararo said. “But it's difficult to prediಞct when the bike is going to be ready.
“Last yea😼r I was not able to be better than third. So hopefully we can fight this year for the victory in the occasion where we feel we can.
“But I think that we ꧂have to do it step by step and not thinking already about the win but try to be into the top five. And then stepping up.”
Quartararo finished seventh in last November's Qatar race and was 14th on the r💙ecent testing timesheets.
