Fabio Quartararo’s preferred Pramac Yamaha riders: "This guy on my right, and a rookie"
Fabio Quartararo picks the riders he would sign for Yamaha’s new satellite MotoGP proꦜjec📖t with Pramac.

There could be two Fabios riding Yamahas in MotoGP next season if 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo gets his way.
Asked to pick his preferred rider line-up for the new Pramac Yamaha project, the 2021 world champion sai⛎d:
“This guy on my right!” and gestured to current VR46 rider Fabio di Giannantonio, sitting alongside him on Thursday at the S🅰achsenring.
“I▨ think Fabio ca꧋n be the one that can make a really good job for Yamaha.
“I'm pushing on my way to Yamaha be𝔉cause I think that the last 10 months he has been doing a rea🅷lly great job.
“I think that we need a rider like him to really improve on our project and 🐓I think a rookie c🌳an be also a good idea.”
Pressed on the i꧋dentity of possible r🐟ookies, Quartararo replied:
“I think [Sergio] Garcia, [Alonso] Lopez are names that are really fast in Moto2. And I think they can earn their♋ place into a team like Pramac that at the end will not really be a satellite team, just an extension of a factory [team].”
Responding to Quartararo’s words, di Giannantonio - who had earlier spoꦜken of having a Plan A, Plan B and Plan C for next seas🌠on, but without naming those options - said:
“I'm grateful for tღhis situation and also to Fabio, honestly, because to have these words from a colleague - a rival but also a friend - is always so good.
“It's not a secret that we are talking with Yamaha, but also with my team [VR46] and the Plan C that I c🐻annot say.
“But also I was talking with Fabio [Quartararo🔥] last week and ♎honestly talking about how is the [Yamaha] project.
“I'm in a 🍸really good situation. I'm really happy that I can decide my future. And this weekend I will define more or less the way for my defin💦itely Plan A.”
One pe🤡rk of signing for Pramac would be🅠 a factory contract.
“Yeah, for sure. I think the contract🐲 with a factory manufacturer iღs always different compared to having a contract with a team, without saying anything bad about the teams,” said di Giannantonio, who has spent his MotoGP career on year-old Ducati machinery at Gresini and now VR46.
“For a rider, having the contract from a factory is different. It's the goal that every one of us has and is one of my g𓃲oals for next season: To have a factory bike, a factory contract and also a factory treatment from a manufacturer.”
di Giannantonio produced the biggest turnaround of the 2023 campaign when, after rarely featuring in the top ten during the first half of the season, he charged to a first podium a🅰nd then race victory in the closing rounds.
Already aware he was losing his Gresini seat to Marc Marquez, di Giannantonio’s results prompted a🔥 U-turn by VR46, which had initially played down ♉signing a non-VR46 Academy rider.
While still chasing a first podium of this season, Diggia has already scored double the points of VR46 team-mate and triple 2023 race winner Marco Bezzecchi, who has signed for the factor𒊎y Aprilia team.
“Well, for sure I'm in a different situation com༺pared to last year and I’m super grateful for this,” di Giannantonio said of the interest in his signature, having o꧃nly confirmed his place on this year's grid after the 2023 season had ended.
🧸“It means also that we are doing a really good job this winter and this season.
“For sure we'll talk also this weekend and some days of next week to 𝔉make my de🌳cision. Because in the race weekend, it's always difficult to take a decision for the future. But we are really close to closing my future deal.”
This weekend’s German GP marks the two-year anniversary of Quartararo and Yamaha’s most re🤡cent MotoGP vic♌tory.
Quartararo gave one final sales pitch to di Giannantonio when asked about how different Diggia might find the Yamaha project compared to be💙ing on a class-leading Ducati.
“It’s two different projects,” Quartararo said. “Of course right now t♛he Ducati bike is winning. There are eight riders꧙, next year there will be two less and two more for us.
“Many new people are coming to Yamaha. The [new Yamaha] project starts from, let's say, January-February. Of course you cannot start a new project and four-five months later already be fightin🔜g for the top.
“Last year we were really in a difficult situation. Right now, we're changing a lot and it t🐼akes time, I know.
“I think in his place it’s much better to have two options than zero. Of course the choice is a difficult one… But I think it’s interesting to have both op🧸tions.”
Alex Rins, missing this weekend's German MotoGP due to🙈 injury, is expected to keep his Monster Yamaha seat alongside Quartararo for 2025.

Peter has been in the paddock for 20 years and has seen Valentino Rossi come and go. He is at the forefront of the Suzuki exit story and Marc Marquez’s🔯 injury issues.
