“No deadline” but Fabio Quartararo will “listen to everyone” for 2025 MotoGP contract
Fabio Quartaꦍraro: 'There is no deadline. No propꦯer talks yet with Yamaha.'

Yamaha will have been relieved to hear star rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo say he has no fixed deadline in mind for deciding his 2025 MotoGP future.
But the Frenc𝔍hman also indicated he will be open to off🐈ers from rival manufacturers; “we have to listen to everyone.”
Yamah💜a 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, e♊x-title rival and reigning double champion Francesco Bagnaia became the first rider of the year to offꦗicially 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5最新开奖结果:latest ‘phase’ of Yamaha’s Mo✤toGP restructuring, centred around the signing of key ex-Ducati engineers Mar෴co Nicotra and Max Bartolini.
“No, there is no de𒊎adline. 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 𒈔mentality of the team, how it's going with these new engineers.
“At the moment, I can sa♈y that they are making steps… But I think we have to listen to everyone.”
Quartararಌo 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 test more during the season will be great… also because we have only have two bikes.”
While engine performance has taken a step forwa🎉rd over the winter, qualifying speed remains a concern and testing closed with the Yamahas of Quartararo and new team-mate Alex Rins still facing a clear gap to the leading m𝄹achines from Ducati, Aprilia and KTM.
“The bigger change we had during th♊e winter was the top speed. And we are pretty h🐈appy 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 closer๊ to the guy in front. “And I think we can ride more in a similar way to the other manufacturers.”
However, “there are many aܫreas where we have to improve. Also last year, the pace waꦚs 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 areas 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 bit back like in ‘19 or ’21, when the way we were riding was much more smooth. I think we 🍃need much more time to understand completely what we need.”
As such, Quartararo concedes it’s difficult to know when the M1 🥃will be ready💝 to win again.
ꦆ“Well, hopefully as soon as possible,” Quartararo said. “But it's difficult to predict when the bike is going to be ready.
“Last ye🎃ar I was not able to be better than third. So hopefully we can fight this year for the victory in the occ😼asion where we feel we can.
“But I think that we have to do it step by step and notꦿ thinking already about the win but try to be into the top five. And then stepping up.”
Quartararo finished seventh in last N꧂ovember's Qatar race and was 14th on 🌳the recent testing timesheets.
