Quartararo To Announce His Future At Yamaha Before The Second Half Of The 2022 MotoGP

JAKARTA - Fabio Quartararo will decide his future before the middle of this year or the second round of the 2022 MotoGP.

The name of the French rider is busy being discussed for the MotoGP transfer market at the end of the season. The reason, his contract at Yamaha will expire.

So far there has been no positive signal whether Quartararo will stay in the Yamaha team. There are rumors that he will join the Honda manufacturer for the 2023 season. However, he did not rule out moving to another team.

"My future will be decided in a very long time; how long, I don't know. I think it will happen before the summer (mid-year)," Quartararo was quoted as saying by Motosan.

The mid-year that Quartararo refers to could coincide with the half of the 2022 MotoGP season. This coincides with the German MotoGP which takes place on June 19 or the Dutch MotoGP on June 26.

Furthermore, Quartararo also said that Eric Mahe as his agent had held talks with a number of parties about his future. Through this approach, Quartararo is optimistic about his future.

"I know my agent looks after my future well, and now I only have one thing on my mind, which is to try to do my best this season," Quartararo added.

Meanwhile, this season, El Diablo must fight hard to defend the MotoGP title. Until the fourth series, Quartararo has not even won a race.

This condition caused him to fall to fifth place in the standings by collecting 44 points or 17 points behind Enea Bastianini who was the leader of the standings.
