JAKARTA - Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP racer, Fabio Quartararo, enlivens the MotoGP rider market for the 2023 season. The French racer is considering options.

Stay at Yamaha or leave for another factory team. There are two options, Repsol Honda and Suzuki Ecstar.

Fabio Quartararo's contract at Yamaha expires at the end of the 2022 season. Currently, the 2021 MotoGP world champion has not given a signal that he will extend the contract.

Yamaha is not silent. The factory team based in Lesmo, Italy, continues to try to convince its champions to stay. However, it was Quartararo who was still hesitating.

The doubts arose after in four races at the start of the 2022 MotoGP season, he only managed to get on the podium once, namely finishing second in the Mandalika MotoGP race. While the other three races, Quartararo dropped out of the top six.

However, those doubts could fade after he won the Portuguese MotoGP race. Moreover, he is again competing in the race for the world title. Currently, Quartararo leads the drivers' standings with 69 points.

Repsol Honda tried to take advantage of the doubts from the French rider. The Yamaha rival has reportedly been in talks with Quartararo.

Appeals have also been launched so that the racer wants to move. The toughness of the RC213V motor is certainly an attraction.

However, there is one thing that hinders, namely the presence of Marc Marquez. If the Spaniard still survives, of course, Quartararo cannot be privileged.

In fact, it is not impossible that he should be in the shadow of the holder of the six MotoGP world titles.

Another option is the Suzuki Ecstar. The performance of Alex Rins and Joan Mir at the start of the 2022 MotoGP season is proof that Suzuki is now slowly rising. The presence of Livio Suppo seems to be starting to pay off.

However, there is one thing that stuck, money! It's no secret that Fabio Quartararo's price isn't cheap. While Suzuki has a policy to be careful in spending funds for investment.
