If there is indeed a specialist in the FIM CEV championship, the real antechamber of the Grands Prix, it is obviously Fabio Quartararo, who won it twice before the world regulations were modified to allow him to race despite his young age.
The FIM CEV Repsol therefore took advantage of the recent appointment of the French rider in the Yamaha MotoGP Factory team in 2021 and 2002 to broadcast, through the microphone of Marina Lorenzo, what El Diablo thinks of this championship mainly based in Spain, even if it bears the official name of Junior World Championship.
These comments were made during the official end-of-season evening in Valencia last November.
fabio quartararo : “above all, I think all the best young drivers participate in the CEV. I think that many MotoGP riders have done this championship and that it is the best championship to prepare for the transition to Moto3. I think that the young riders who are there will arrive in Moto3 where they will definitely perform well. »
