RiderTua.com – Fabio Quartararo extended his contract with Yamaha for 2 years even though the M1 is not competitive. This is in contrast to Marc Marquez, who even left Honda which was in decline and preferred the winning bike (Ducati).
Indeed, one of the reasons for El Diablo’s decision was of course his fantastic annual salary of 12 million Euros. But doesn’t Marquez also get a huge annual salary from Honda?
Marc Marquez: Riders also need luck
Fabio Quartararo prefers Yamaha’s development project, while Marc Marquez actually stays away from Honda because of the inferiority of the RC213V. Even though the decision was different, Baby Alien could understand the 25 year old rider’s decision. He said that he was not surprised that Fabio extended his contract. Because Yamaha is Yamaha, just as Honda is Honda. Either sooner for the next few series or later until next year Yamaha and Honda will return to the top again.
Marc Marquez sees a big difference between himself and Quartararo, who is 7 years younger than him. “Many people compare my situation. But Fabio has more time than me. Unlike me, he didn’t suffer a career-changing injury that made me doubt for the first time,” explained the former Honda rider.
From his own experience, the Gresini Ducati rider revealed that when someone is part of a bike development project like Marc at Honda in the past and Quartararo at Yamaha now, where many things are promised to riders, it is natural that a rider like Quartararo can be patient and believe in the project. “The rider must be confident and must believe in himself, but it also requires a ‘luck’ where the engineers can find a solution to give the rider a competitive bike,” said Marc.
