Fabio Quartararo honour awarded by French president dates back to Napoleon
The Chevalier de la Légion D'Honneur is France’sღ highest order of military and civil me𒀰rit

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo has 𒁃been h♏onoured with France’s highest order of military and civil merit.
The Chevalier de la Légion D'Honneur was bestowed upon the MotoGP rider by France Pres⛄♔ident Emmanuel Macron at the Élysée Palace in Paris.
It is the highest honour in Franc🌞e and dat⭕es back to Napoleon.
He is just the third French motorsportsജ star to receive the award, after✃ Sebastian Loeb and Alain Prost.
Quartara𒁏ro won the 2021 MotoGP championship and only missed out on retaining his title on the final day of 2022.
But last✃ year, Quartararo endured a dreadful campaign blighted by his be🌟low-par Yamaha.
He secured just three podiums and finished 10th in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:MotoGP standings, his worst result in his five🍷 years in the premier class.
New concessions rules will allow Yamaha a big chance to ༺close the gap to the front-runners Ducati.
Those rules mean Quartararo and new teammate Alex Rins can be on track from February 🎃1 at the Sepang shakedown.
But they will continue to be restricted by having only two bik🀅es on the 2024 grid, compared to four for KTM, Aprilia 🌠and Honda, and eight for Ducati.
Quartararo is also entering the final year of his curre𝔉nt contract with Yamaha.
All but two MotoGP riders are also in the final year of deals with their manufacturers meaning a rider merry-go-round could commence from this summer, with Quartararo inevitably ho🌄t property.
How the Yamaha M1 shapes up from the Sepang shakedown will be the first step in Quartararo ඣdecidiꩵng his long-term future.
