168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo repor𝔍tedly receไived an offer to leave Yamaha from Aprilia.

But the 2021 MotoGP champion igno꧒red it, and penned a new two-year deal to stick with Yamaha.

His new contract makes him๊ the top-earnꦛing rider in MotoGP, on terms worth €12m per year.

Aprilia offered Quartaraꦕro 🔴a deal worth only €4m per year,  report.

At just a third of the value 🍬of the contract on the table from Yamaha, Quartararo opted to stay put.

Aprilia knew that they not could compete with Yamaha on a financial front when they started speaking to Quartarar🦹o about his future sev⭕eral months ago.

But, t𒐪hey hoped that the competitiveness of their RS-GP would🌳 tempt him to make a decision similar to Marc Marquez’s.

Marquez opted to quit his €20m-per-year Honda contract (whi🃏ch made him MotoGP’s top-earner) and instead go to Gresini Ducati for a more competitive package.

Aprilia🌺 also entered 2024 aiming to establish themselves as the close🌳st contenders to Ducati.

Although ꦕKTM’s Brad Binder currently sits second in the standings, Maverick Vinales’ sprint race win in Portimao offered a glimpse of 🧸what Aprilia could do.

Unfortunately the next day, his gearbox failure displayed the othe🍌r side of the Aprilia.

Other manufacturers were not in a position to make a serious offer to 💃Quartararo that rivalle🌌d Yamaha’s.

Ducati have locked down Francesco Bagnaia on a deal worth a basic €6m-per-year already𒐪.

They are also weighing up how to finance - and whether to fit in - the f🃏utures of Marquez and Jorge Martin.

That meant Quartararꦉo could only fit in at a Ducati satellite team with the financial and technical disadvantages that come wit🍌h it.

⛎KTM are prioritising the evolution of Pedro Acosta, and possess the high-flying Binder already.

They are also credited with an interestꦦ🍸 in acquiring Marquez next year which will hit them in the pocket.

And Honda? Although they po𓃲ssess financ♓ial muscle, their bike is even worse than Yamaha’s at the moment.

Quartararo made the decision to become theꦯ most well-paid MotoGP rider and stᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚay patient as he helps the development of the Yamaha, however long that takes…
