Fabio Quartararo - “People say my charisma is close to Valentino Rossi’s”
Rossi is MotoGP’s biggest-ever superstar whose fame c🔯rossed into mainstream culture, and he did it while amassing seven premier class titles.
Quartararo will vie for his second title in 2023 riding a Yamaha, for the team that Rossi became synonyꦓmous with.
“To have my personality is something great because some riders can be super-f🐎ast ⛄but don’t have the personality,” he told .
“And I feel like: ‘okay, 🎶I have my own personality’.
“It’s different to the other one, but it’s true that many people say the charisma I have is clo꧟se to Valentino. That is a great thing.”
Rossi🔯’s MotoGP career spanned 19 years, although he failed to win the championship in his🌄 final 12 seasons after swapping Yamaha for Ducati, then returning to Yamaha.
Quartararo does not plan to match Rossi’s longevity: “I wish🎃 to be 10 more years in MotoGP. It depends a lot on how it’s going with injuries.
“Hopefully, I will not get so many injuries, but of course I would lꦜike to ride until I’m 32 or 33.”
Quartararo was pipped to a second consecutive title on the final day of the 2022 season, as Ducati’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia completed a 91-point turnaround to become champion for the first 🃏🔜time.
Much of Quartararo’s struggles were attributed to a below-🎃par Yamaha bike, in ⭕contrast to Bagnaia’s Ducati which was widely credited as the most effective on the grid last year.
﷽He will discover more about his 2023 bike at the Sepang test in February: “Yes, straight away. In the first five laps, I will know if the bike is good or not, especially on the top speed.
“For the chassis and everything you need to do more, but on the engine I will know straight aw♓ay if it is bett💃er or not.”
