A MotoGP factory with a huge problem told to sign more than one new rider
A MotoGP factory has been advised to make new rider signings to address a persistent issue within the team. Despite having Fabio Quartararo and recruiting Toprak Razgatlioglu, Yamaha needs more competitive riders. The lack of a strong second rider alongside Quartararo is a major concern for Yamaha. The team needs to build a stronger lineup to compete with the likes of Ducati and KTM. Yamaha must focus on acquiring faster and more competitive riders in the short term to support Quartararo effectively. The potential solution of improving rider depth will also create financial challenges for Yamaha due to Quartararo’s contract expiring in 2026. It is crucial for Yamaha to address this longstanding problem and build a stable of competitive riders to support their lead rider effectively.
