Quartararo has ✱made clear his displeasure at riding an uncompetitive bike which g꧂ave him no hope of competing for the MotoGP championship this year.

And the French rider has pinpointed next month’s Misano test - where Yamaha will trial t꧑heir 2024 plans - as the moment he will understand if the future is bright or not.

Yamaha managing director Lin Jarvis was asked by if he feared losing Quartararo to Hond🥃a, and replied: “I don’t like the word ‘afrꩵaid’. 

“I am aware, and one o🍸f the risk🎶s comes from Honda.

“Because Honda 𒉰wi𓆉ll want a top rider, and Fabio is one.

“To keep h𒆙im, we will have to have a competitive bike.

“We really must demonstꦕrate with the facts that we are fully focus๊ed.”

Quartararo is contracted to Yamaha for 2𒈔024, where Alex Rins w🍃ill be his new teammate instead of Franco Morbidelli.

“The ridℱer market next year will show some interesting movements,” Jarvis said.

“Will Marc Marquez stay or retire, continue with Honda⛦ or anoth🍰er manufacturer?

“What I know is that🧸 we must change🃏 our development system.

“We are open, maybe we will have a V4 💦in the future. There i𒐪s still potential in our package.”

Jarvis insi🌳sted that Yamaha can return to glory as the team who deliv🅠ered Valentino Rossi’s heyday and Quartararo’s 2021 championship.

“This year we have lost our competitiveness,” he said. “But two years ago𓆏 🍌we won the world championship with Fabio.

“And we were leading🌌 the championsh✤ip until mid-2022.

“The reality is that the European manu✃facturers have overtaken the Japanese.

“These are situations that can happen i𓆉n motorspꦿort, in F1 as well.

♋“Will this still be the case ꧅in 2024? We can’t know.

“We’re not that far away, we’re just losing en🐓ough to not be in Q2.”
