It is certain that the current boss of MotoGP is Marc Márquez. But it is becoming obvious that the phenomenon of the category is no longer just the Spaniard at the Honda. This season, it was a Frenchman who made a sensational entrance onto the Grand Prix scene. His name is Fabio Quartararo. His experienced compatriot who knows all the secrets of the paddock confirms that we will have to count on the current Yamaha Petronas rider in the transfer market which will open in 2021. “ He will see a lot of “zeros” on the contract » predicts the boss of the Tech3 team…
