168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo believes that Yamaha “woke up” when they saw 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez quit Honda.

Marquez left Honda, the team he won six MotoGP cha🍒mpionships with, to join Gresini Ducati this year in the pursuit o🌺f a faster bike.

Quartararo, the 2021 chꦓampion, was in a very similar situation at Yamaha but instead chose to sign a lucrative, long-term new contract.

"Marquℱez's departure from Honda to Ducati woke up a lot of people at Yᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚamaha,” Quartararo told French TV Canal+.

"They have recruited a lot of new engineers. A lot of things are happe♋n🎃ing in Italy, rather than in Japan.

"The speed with which parts can be chaওnged has changed. It was very interesting for me to conꦏtinue with Yamaha."

Quartararo has signe🌌d a contract which reportedly makes him the highest-earning🌜 MotoGP rider.

He insisted: "My choice was to stay with Y🙈amaha, not by default, but for the project.”

Quartararo admitted that there will be scepticism over his decision 𝄹to stay as Yamaha’s rebuild continues.

“A few months ago I was really ready to depart for ano꧙ther team," he saiꦛd.

Asked which team, he replied: "I'm not going to saಌy. But of course, Yamaha is investing huge sums to get a better bike.

“I think it's on♑e of the only brands investing so m🌄uch in this project.

"We're already going to see some🅠 improvements this year.

“I think that this year will be very ♛difficult to fight for a few podiums. But this year will be very ♏important for the next two."

Aprilia reportedly failed wit༒h an offer to🐈 tempt Quartararo for 2025.

Marquez, meanwhile, has justified his decision to quit Honda ඣby regularly fighting at the front on his Ducati in the early stages of this season.

He crashed out from the lead last 🧸weekend at the Americas MotoGP.

Marquez🦩 offered a clear reason for why he and Quartararo made different decision💫s when faced with an uncompetitive Japanese-manufactured bike.

"We are at differe൲nt points in our sporting careers, he has more time, I have less,” Marquez told .

“I was at a more critical moment, where I needed that change and🍎 to see myself competitive again.

“He has a very good relationship with Yamaha a🐻nd the pr𓆉oject will move forward."
