QUARTARARO
Birthplace : Nice DOB : 1999-04-20
Height : 177 cm Weight : 66 kg
At just 19 years of age , Quartararo 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 convinced the new Petronas-backed Sepang Racing Team to place him 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 . Yamaha ’ s engine woes saw his 2020 challenge crumble in the autumn . But promotion to Yamaha ’ s Factory team for 2021 in Valentino Rossi ’ s place gave Fabio impetus . He wrapped up the 2021 MotoGP™ World Championship with two races to go thanks to five wins and some brilliant performances and will be seeking to retain his crown with the same team this year .
