Fabio Quartararo

Date of birth: 20th April 1999
Nationality: French
First season in MotoGP: 2019
Achievements: world champion (2021)

Fabio Quartararo has been racing in MotoGP since the 2019 season. Despite never fighting for titles in the Moto3 and Moto2 classes, the MotoGP bike suits him really well. He first raced for the Petronas SRT Yamaha team and achieved seven podium results in his rookie year. In 2020, he took the first three victories. For 2021, the Yamaha factory team chose him as a replacement for Valentino Rossie. And he showed it was a good decision to give him this opportunity, as he became the world champion. However, the last two seasons have not been so successful for the Frenchman. Although he was World Vice-Champion in 2022, he struggled last year with Yamaha and dropped to 10th place.
