Quartararo has made clear his displeasure at riding an uncomp🐬etitive bike which gave him no hope of competi✨ng for the MotoGP championship this year.

And the French rider has pinpointed next month’s Misano test - where Yamaha will trial their 2024 plaꦿns - as the mome🦹nt he will understand if the future is bright or not.

Yamaha managing director Lin Jarvis was asked by if he fearꦰed losing🎃 Quartararo to Honda, and replied: “I don’t like the word ‘afraid’. 

“I am aware, and one of the risks comes 🔯from Honda.

“B🐈ecause Honda will wan🎃t a top rider, and Fabio is one.

“T🌳o keep him, we will have to have a competitive bike.

“We really must demonstrate with the facts that we are൩ fully focused.”

Quartarar𒁏o is contracted to Yama🅰ha for 2024, where Alex Rins will be his new teammate instead of Franco Morbidelli.

“The rider market next year will show some interesting movements,” J♔arvis said.

“Will Marc Marquez stay🌠 or retire, continue with Honda or another manufacturer?

“What I know is that we must change our develop🍸mꦺent system.

“We are open, maybe we will have a V4 in the future. 🍸There is still pot💫ential in our package.”

Jarvis insisted that Y🎉amaha can return to glory as the team who delivered Valentino Rossi’𒀰s heyday and Quartararo’s 2021 championship.

“This year we have lost our competiti🐓veness,” he said. “But two years ago we won the world championship with Fabio.

“And we were leading🧸 the chꩵampionship until mid-2022.

“The reality is❀ that the European manufacturers have overtaken the Japanese.

“These are situations that can happen in motorsport, in F1 as wel🍸l.

▨“Will this still be the case in 2024? 🅘We can’t know.

“We’re not that far away, we’re just losing♐ en🌺ough to not be in Q2.”
