168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo has addressed reports that he has become MotoGP’s highest-earning rider.

Quartararo igno💮red interest from Aprilia to pen a new deal with Yamaha worth a reported♔ €12m-per-year.

But de𓂃spite Yamaha’s deep pockets, their bike remains concerningly uncompetitive.

Quartararo is quoted by when asked about the finances in his deal: "We're not going to lie to ♛each other, I think yes, as a rider, I ꦺhave value.

“And Yamaha knows that very well.

“I'm honoured that a brand like Yamaha is betting on me. It's been several yea❀rs that I’ve been with them.

“The No1 reason, of ꦏcourse, is the project for the next few years.

“Financially, I think that was a small part that ✤was taken into account in this contracﷺt.”

The money on offer from Yamaha wa🌊s repor꧂tedly three times what Aprilia were able to offer.

Quartararo’s early commitment🎐 to stay at Yamaha was perhaps unexpected but a major piece of the rider market for 2025 has now b♑een solved.

The 2021 champion insists that the goal is to restore Yamaha 🤪to the tꦅop of MotoGP.

"Ho🌟nestly, I also have an ego, I have pride,” Quartararo said.

“We won with Yamaha. We went down to the lowest point for these last two years. I also c🎃𝓡ount this one.

“I want to go back with the brand which gave me the opportunity to change my career🌞, with the brand which changed my life.”

Bu💫t a reminder of Yamaha’s ongoing struggles came at the third roundꦏ of 2024, at the Circuit of the Americas.

Quartararo and teammate Alex Rins we൲re 15th and 16th respectively in the sprint race - only Honda’s Luca Mari꧂ni completed the distance behind them.

Quartararo was then 12th in the grand p🦩rix while Rins did not finish.

Yamaha insist their plan is a long-term commit☂ment toܫ return to the summit of MotoGP.

Although Lin Jarvis will exit as team principal after 26 years at the end oꦓf 2024, he has laid out a comeback plan for the team.

The add💙ition of engineer Max Bartolini from Ducati is seen as crucialඣ, although the effects have not yet translated onto the track.

Yamaha are also optimistic about recruiting a satellite team for 2025, giving them double tꦐhe data, riders and ✤bikes.
