RiderTua.com – Jorge Lorenzo knows that one of Yamaha’s mainstay riders, Fabio Quartararo, has to make an important decision about his future in the world of racing, the French rider’s contract will soon end and Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP must have a way to tie the feet of their main rider. The French rider has raced exclusively for Yamaha since joining MotoGP in 2019, and has enjoyed incredible success, including a world title with the factory team. However, recent seasons have resulted in Yamaha’s technical limitations and have affected El Diablo’s ability to compete effectively with European manufacturers. A new concession system will be introduced in MotoGP this year, benefiting Yamaha and Honda and will likely be a big boost to their comeback.
Jorge Lorenzo: Ducati Should Consider Fabio Quartararo, But Why?
However, the long-awaited solution has yet to show results. Meanwhile the transfer market is expected to be volatile and Fabio Quartararo may have to consider his future outside Yamaha if his situation at the Japanese team does not improve soon. Jorge Lorenzo said that Fabio Quartararo should be considered as a Ducati rider
Jorge Lorenzo dares to predict that Ducati has nothing to lose by bringing in the Yamaha rider. “Ducati may have to choose between Quartararo, Jorge Martin, Marc Marquez and Enea Bastianini. This creates a big dilemma,” said the former five-time world champion while emphasizing tight competition at Ducati.
Ducati has secured Francesco Bagnaia with the factory team until 2026, with 18-year-old rising star Fermin Aldeguer already tied to an official team contract to make his Ducati debut in 2025, possibly with Prima Pramac. If Lorenzo places the French rider in the ranks of the red team riders, for Fabio Quartararo’s camp, the rumors are more aimed at Aprilia if his departure from Yamaha is confirmed, because at Ducati it is very difficult to penetrate.
The reason Lorenzo supports Quartararo at Ducati is perhaps he feels there are similarities with the French rider, and Lorenzo himself has won with Ducati at the Italian, Catalunya and Austrian GPs in the 2018 MotoGP season.
