168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo has addressed reports that he has become MotoGP’s highest-earning rider.

Quartararo ignored interest from Aprilia to pe𒊎n a new deal with Yamaha worth a reported €12m-per-year.

But despite Yamaha’s deep pockets, their bike remains co🍃ncerningly unco൩mpetitive.

Quartararo is quoted by when asked about the finances in his deal: ꧋"We're not going 🅠to lie to each other, I think yes, as a rider, I have value.

“And Yamaha knows that very well.

“I'm honoured that a brand like Yamaha is betting on me. It's been several years that I🦩’ve been with them.

“The No1 reason, of൲ course, is the project for the next few years.

“Financially, I think that was a small part that♓ was taken into account in this contract.”

The money on offer from Yamaha was reportedly three times what༒ Aprilia were able to offer.

Quartararo’s early commitment to stay at Yamaha was perhaps unexpected but a major piece🅠 of the rider market for 2025 has now been solved.

The 2021 champion i✨nsists that the goal is to restore Yamaha to the top of MotoGP.

"Honestly,🌠 I also have an ego, I have pride,” Quartarꦫaro said.

“We won with Yamaha. We went down to the lowest po🥃int for these last two years. I also couꦿnt this one.

“I want to go back with the brand wh🔥ich gave me the opportuni🎐ty to change my career, with the brand which changed my life.”

But a reminder of Yamaha’s ongoing struggles came at the third round of 2024, at the Circuit of the🔴 Americas.

Quartararo and teammate Alex Rins were 15th and 16th respectively in the sprint race 🌜- only Honda’s Luca Marini completed the distance behind them.

Quartararo was then 12th in the grand prix w🦩hile Rins did not finish.

Yamaha insist their plan༺ is a long-term commitment to return to the sum🦂mit of MotoGP.

Although Lin Jarvis will exit as teꦫam principal after 26 years at the end of 2024, he has laid out a comeback plan for the team.

The addition of engineer Max Bartolini from Ducati is seen as crucial, although the efওfects have not yet translated onto the track.

Yamaha are also optimistic about recruiting a satellite team for 2025, giving them double the data, riders and bikes♌.
