168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo has spoken about Aprilia’s interest in him.

Quartararo reportedly rejected a €4m-per-year offer from Aprilia to pen a new deal with Yamaha, worth three times♉ the amou𓂃nt.

Now the highest-paid rider in MotoGP, he explained at the MotoGP Grand Prix of the Americ🐽as why he chos☂e to stick with his underperforming team.

"I have spok🤪en with all the brands,” Quartararo told&nbs🌌p;.

“Aprilia was one of the brands that I liked, because🦹 it is diffe♛rent.

“There are not so many riders on the same bike.

“But in the end we have had all the papers of all the brands on the table and the projec🍌t I really liked was Yamaha in the future.

"In Portugal we have had a fairly long discussion with the management of Yamaha, and the engineers, to ꧒see in more detail the entire project betweꦦen now and the end of the year, 2025 and 2026.

“We have seen very interesting things, thing﷽s that I cannot tell yet.

“Really seeing ඣYamaha's interest in me has been one of the reasons why I decided to be in the team.

"It has more to do with struc🔯ture, technical things, people♚...

“Yamaha is investing a lot to develop the motorcycle. It already start♌ed in January 2024.

“The arrival of engineers with experience in other brands has seen that very important things 🌳were missing for the capacity of the motorcycle and Yamaha is investing to do everything very qui🗹ckly and in the best way.

"Things are coming for this year and man🍒y more for the future.”

Massimo Bartoli🐈ni was later name-chec𓄧ked as crucial. The ex-Ducati engineer has joined Yamaha to be their technical director.

Quartararo’s Yamaha still lags beh♍ind the Aprilias which he♕ rejected.

In Texas this weekend, he and teammate Alex Rins can again display thei𒐪r bike’s development on the track.

But Quartararo’s decision to stay with Yamaha was ultimately a long-term, and a ⛄lucrative, choice.

The knock-on effect forও Aprilia’s bid to establish themselves as Ducati’s top challengersꦫ is to decide whether to stick with their experienced duo of Aleix Espargaro and Maverick Vinales for next year.
