Fabio Quartararo is the one we are waiting for in MotoGP in this 2020 season which will be so special. And for good reason: he did so well in his first year in the category in 2019 that all that remains is for him to achieve a victory and assert himself as a candidate for the title over the length of a campaign. This before joining the official Yamaha team in 2021. What’s the pressure? The Frenchman explains that there is good pressure and bad pressure. And he is happy that the latter is no longer his daily life…

fabio quartararo will live its last season this year with a team Petronas who gave him his chance. He knew how to seize it, and he would like to reward it, before taking over at Yamaha to Valentino Rossi who will replace him in the Malaysian team. At least this is the expected scenario, if not hoped for. To convince him, the one nicknamed El Diablo describes to him what could await him: “ I would tell him that it’s a family. When I work, I'm focused, but afterwards I like to joke. This blend of professionalism and good vibes is what defines our team. I don't know how you work in an official team, but I doubt it's better than ours ».

On this proximity side, he relates the idea of ​​bringing his own team into a new environment: “ my team is a family and what I found here is important. We still haven't talked about the guys who will be coming with me. I hope to take them with me and that they will always be with me ". A desire which is also that of the Doctor and his family!

“Je n’ai pas d’objectifs en 2020”

Otherwise, for this upcoming battle, he comments: “ The pressure I felt the most was that of not having a contract for next year. But since I already have everything clear, I can concentrate 100% on what I'm doing. There is a type of good pressure and a bad pressure and I currently have the good one. In Jerez there will be problems with the tires because the race was scheduled for May and we are going to race in July ».

fabio quartararo finished : " I don't have a clear goal for 2020. I want to try to fight for victory and for the podium and in case I can't, always stay in the top 5. Last year I didn't have the carbon fork and my engine was 500 rpm lower. My goal was to prove that I could stay ahead of the official drivers ". This is already a clue as to what the 2019 rookie, fifth in the last championship with six podiums and seven pole positions, is preparing for us.
