(Reuters) - Fabio Quartararo will remain on the Yamaha factory bike until 2026 after the former MotoGP champion signed a two-year contract extension, the Japanese manufacturer announced on Friday.
Quartararo won the MotoGP title with Yamaha in 2021 after making the step up to the factory team that year when he replaced Valentino Rossi but the 24-year-old has since struggled as Ducati dominated the premier class with a superior bike.
