168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo has been honoured with Fr🍃ance’s highest order of military and civil merit.

The Chevalier de la Légion D'Honneur was bestowed upon the MotoGP rider by France President Emmanuel Macron at♍ the Élysée Palace in Paris.

It is🤡 the highest honour in France and dates back to Napoleon.

He is just the third French motorsp𒁃orts star to receive the award, after Sebastian Loeb and Alain Prost.

Quartararo w🦹on the 2021 MotoGP ch♐ampionship and only missed out on retaining his title on the final day of 2022.

But last year, Quartararo endured a dreadful campaign blighted by✃ his below-par Yamaha.

He secured just three podiums and finished 10th in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:MotoGP standings,ꩵ his worst result in his five years 🌼in the premier class.

New concessions rules will aꦫllow Yamaha a big chance ♏to close the gap to the front-runners Ducati.

All but two MotoGP riders are also in the final year of deals with their manufacturers meaning a rider merry-go-round could𝓰 commence from this summer, with Quartararo inevitably hot property.

How the Yamaha M1 shapes up from the Sepang shakedown will be the first step 🌄in Quartararo🦄 deciding his long-term future.
