RACER Fabio Quartararo has officially extended his contract with the Yamaha Motor Co factory team for the next two seasons, namely 2025 and 2026.
Quoted from Yamaha’s official statement, Friday (5/4), Monster Energy Yamaha’s decision to extend their collaboration with the French racer is a form of the team’s strong commitment to returning to winning ways with the continued development of the YZR-M1.
“Keeping Fabio as part of the factory team is an integral part of Yamaha’s MotoGP project. Fabio is an extraordinary talent, a hard worker, a great team player, and he has many competitive years ahead of him,” said Yamaha Motor Racing Managing Director Lin Jarvis.
Furthermore, even though the two parties are only entering their fourth year together, the Quartararo-Yamaha combination is already considered a natural pairing among MotoGP fans.
This successful partnership resulted in Quartararo’s first MotoGP world title in 2021, in his first season with the factory team, and a runner-up title in 2022.
The next Yamaha highlights on Quartararo’s resume are eight race wins and 21 podiums. In addition, Quartararo secured 16 pole positions and 41 front row starts from a total of 93 grands prix with the YZR-M1.

“Fabio has been with Yamaha since 2019 and with us the factory team since 2021. In a relatively short time span of only four years, we have achieved a lot of success,” said Jarvis.
Jarvis did not deny that his team still has a lot of work to do to return to the competitive level they were in 2021 and the first half of 2022.
He believes Quartararo has the same commitment and is ready to work hard together with this blue team.
“Six years ago, they gave me the opportunity to step up to MotoGP and since then we have achieved great things together,” said Quartararo.
“We still have a long way to go to fight for victory again. I will work hard and I am sure that, together, we will achieve our dreams once again!” he concluded. (Ant/Z-1)
