The 2021 MotoGP champion only missed out on back-to-back titles at final roun𓂃d of last season but his manufacturer began itꩲs decline a year ago, and now is worryingly lagging behind the three European brands.

Quartararo’s brilliance is rarely questioned yet he could only manage 15th at the British MotoGP, ahead of only the LCR Honda duo plus riders who didn’t f🃏inish.

“After the Misano test, this is where we find out if it’s a🐠 turning point or not,” was his sౠtrict deadline imposed on Yamaha.

The September 11 test is where Yamaha will discover if their plans for the 2024 M🐓1 look promising or not.

Then at the Japanese MotoGP on September 29-October 1, they will run Cal Crutchlow as a wildcard in a furtꦜher attempt to gat🍰her data to provide a competitive bike next year.

But Quartararo does not expect miracles from C💝rutchlow’s 🐟appearance.

“Well, it’s just a wildcard,” he dismissed. 

“I don’t think it will be a big turning point 🦋for us. Cal is doing tests, I think🔯. But hopefully it’s true and it can be a turning point."

Iℱf Quartararo is not im𒁃pressed by what he finds at the Misano test, he will become another high-profile rider who may look for a more competitive solution in 2024.

Yamaha managing director Lin Jarvis 🤪admitted: “Fabio is a world champion of less than two years ago. 

This time last year, he was leading the ch❀ampionship. 

“He expects better, is accustomed to better, ca🥀pable of better. He has beenౠ quite rightfully so frustrated. 

“He gives his maximum bu🦂t has been in incidents created by over-riding or being in the middle of the pack. 

“I understand his frustration. We nee🍎d to deliver a package to our riders to allow them to perform to the best of their abilities.”
