“No deadline” but Fabio Quartararo will “listen to everyone” for 2025 MotoGP contract
Fabio Quartararo: 'There is no deadline. No proper talks yet with 🌳Yama🍨ha.'

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 he will be open to offers from rival manufacturers; “we ha🅺ve to listen to everyone.”
Yamaha suffered 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 ﷺFrancesco Bagnaia became the first rider of the year to officially 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:latest ‘phase’ of Yamaha’s MotoGP re🦂structuring, centred around the signing of 🦩key ex-Ducati engineers Marco Nicotra and Ma💟x Bartolini.
“Noဣ, there is no ๊deadline. No proper talks yet with Yamaha,” Quartararo said on the eve of the Qatar season opener.
“So I think I will need a little bit of time to see also the project, the mentality of the team, how it's goin🍎g with these new engineers.
“At the moment, I can say that they 𓄧are making steps… But I think we have to listen to everyone.”
Quar♔tararo 🀅heads into his sixth MotoGP season, all spent on Yamaha machinery, confident that new access to technical concessions will also accelerate the M1’s recovery.
“I think it's really important, especially to have many things that we can change on the bike,” he said. “To be able to t🦋est 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 close🎃d with the Yamahas of Quartararo and new team-mate Alex Rins still facing a clear gap to the leading machines from Ducati, Aprilia and KTM.
“The bigger chang🀅eཧ we had during the winter was the 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 the guy in front. “🍸And I think we can ride more in a similar way﷽ to the other manufacturers.”
However, “꧙there are many areas where we have 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 are🍬as like electronics, the way we are using the rear tyre going into the corner is something that we are a little bit worse every year.
“So we have to get a little b♚it back like in ‘19 or ’21, when the way we were riding was much more smooth. I think we need muꦓch more time to understand completely what we need.”
As such, Quartararo concedes it’s difficult to know when the M1 will be ready to wi๊n again.
“Well, hopefully as soon as possible,” Quartararo said. “Bu꧑t✅ it's difficult to predict when the bike is going to be ready.
“Last year I was not able to be better than third. So hopefull♒y we canౠ 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 in♊to the top five. And then stepping up.”
Quartararo finish♔ed seventh in last November's Qatar race and was 14th on t🙈he recent testing timesheets.
