QUARTARARO
DOB : 1999-04-20 Birthplace : NICE Height : 177 CM Weight : 66 KG
It ’ s difficult to overstate how far Quartararo has come in recent years . At just 19 years of age , he was in danger of becoming another case of massive talent unfulfilled . But his first – and only – grand prix win in the Moto2 class in Barcelona midway through 2018 was enough to convince the new Petronas-backed Sepang Racing Team his vast reserves of talent were worthy of a place in MotoGP™ . From there the 2013 and 2014 FIM Moto3 Junior World Champion never looked back , scoring seven podiums , six pole positions and pushing Marc Marquez hardest in his rookie MotoGP™ year in 2019 . With Marquez sidelined for all of 2020 , he was fully expected to kick on and win the championship . But Yamaha ’ s engine woes coupled with an erratic temperament saw his challenge crumble in the autumn . Still , he ’ s blindingly young . And now in Yamaha ’ s factory squad , Quartararo has used last year ’ s disappointments to fuel a championship challenge . With five wins to his name , the 22-year old was the standout name in the season ’ s first 14 races and carries a healthy 48-point lead with four races to play .
