Fabio Quartararo will remain with Yamaha Racing for the 2025 and 2026 MotoGP season after agreeing a new contract with the Iwata marque.
The future of the Frenchman – crowned MotoGP World Champion in 2021 – after a decline in performance from the factory Yamaha squad in the years following his title win.
However, having initiated a number of changes in the team on Quartararo’s request in an effort to retain him for the future, the eight-time race winner has opted to stay on board.
“I am super happy to announce that I am going to continue my adventure in BLUE!” Quartararo said.
“Last winter Yamaha proved to me that they have a new approach and a new aggressive mindset. My confidence is high: we will be back at the front together!
“Six years ago, they gave me the chance to step up to MotoGP, and since then we have achieved great things together.
“We still have a long way ahead of us to start fighting for victory again. I will work hard, and I am sure that, together, we will achieve our dream once more!”
