Fabio Quartararo has taken to the track with a new look to his Yamaha MotoGP bike at the Sepang Shakedown.
In 2026, Fabio Quartararo made his debut on a MotoGP bike at the Sepang Shakedown test, revealing a new pink look for his YZR-M1.
Although Quartararo skipped the first day of testing, he took to the track on day two with fresh pink colors on his number, helmet, boots, and gloves.
His appearance at the Monster Energy Yamaha team launch in Jakarta showcased traditional red designs, contrasting with the temporary pink theme in Sepang.
While the pink colors are unlikely to feature in the 2026 MotoGP season, Quartararo had previously experimented with green designs during testing that were later replaced with red for races.
Recent reports suggest Quartararo will transition from Yamaha to Honda at the end of 2026, marking a significant change in his MotoGP career path.
