Fabio Quartararo honour awarded by French president dates back to Napoleon
T🐷he Chevalier de la Légion D'Honneur is France’s highest order of military and civil merit

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo ﷽has been honoured♚ with France’s highest order of military and civil merit.
The Chevalier de la Légion D'Honneur was bestowed upon the MotoGP rider by France Preಌsident Emma🃏nuel Macron at the Élysée Palace in Paris.
It is🌃 th💮e highest honour in France and dates back to Napoleon.
He is just the third French motorsports stꦆar to receive the award, after Sebastian Loeb and Alain Prost.
Quartararo won the 2021 MotoGP championship and only missed out💝 on retaining his title on the final day of 2022.
But last year, Quartararo endured a dreadful ca🙈mpaign 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, his wo♕rst result in his fiv🌟e years in the premier class.
New conce𝓡ssions rules will allow Yamaha a big chance to close the gap ꦦto the front-runners Ducati.
Those rules mean Quartararo and new teammate Alex Rins can be on track from February 1 at the Sepang shak🎶edown.
But they will continue to be restricted by hav♐ing only two bikes on the 2024 grid, compared to four for KTM, Aprilia and Honda, and eight for Ducati.
Quartararo is also entering the finꦬal year of his 🅺current contract with Yamaha.
All 🍷but two MotoGP riders are also in the final year of deals with their manufacturers meaning a rider merry-go-round could commence from this summer, with Quartararo inevitably ho✅t property.
How the Yaღmaha M1 shapes up from the Sepang shakedown will be the first step in Quartararo deciding his long-term future.
