Yamaha make worrying money confession about Fabio Quartararo’s future
The 2021 MotoGP champion and other riders on the grid will enter the final year of their contracts in 2024, making 2025 an interesting year for the rider market. Every manufacturer will have vacant bikes to offer to the best contenders. Despite struggling with Yamaha, Quartararo is still in high demand and may look elsewhere for a competitive bike. Yamaha team director, Massimo Meregalli, is more concerned about the performance of their bikes in 2025 rather than the monetary aspect, especially with Marc Marquez’s potential exit from Honda. Meregalli does not see Quartararo breaking his contract for next season, but anything can happen. Yamaha’s plan to improve their performance includes having a satellite team and they will do everything to achieve this by 2025. Valentino Rossi’s VR46 team may join Yamaha’s side, as they have spoken to the Japanese manufacturer, for whom Rossi is still an ambassador. Meregalli believes that by 2025, Quartararo can have a winning bike, though victory is not something that can be achieved quickly. Yamaha aims to be halfway between their current position and the top positions.
