Quartararo’s achievements combined with his teammates’ efforts have also helped keep both the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team and Yamaha in contention in this year’s Team and Constructor Championships with two rounds remaining.
Quartararo brought Yamaha’s premier class rider titles tally to 18 so far, of which three were secured by Lorenzo (2010, 2012, and 2015), four by Valentino Rossi (2004, 2005, 20) in the MotoGP class, three by Wayne Rainey (1990, 1991, 1992), three by Eddie Lawson (1984, 1986, 1988), three by Kenny Roberts (1978, 1979, 1980), and one by Giacomo Agostini (1975) in the 500cc class. Quartararo’s impressive 2021 results earned Yamaha its 755th premier class podium finish in Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd.’s 60th anniversary year of World Championship Road Racing participation, adding to the Japanese constructor’s extensive list of MotoGP milestones. He went on to score eight more podiums (French GP, Italian GP, German GP, Dutch GP, Styrian GP, British GP, San Marino GP, and the Americas GP), including three wins (Italian GP, Dutch GP, and British GP). Though the Frenchman had to cope with sudden Chronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome (CECS or ‘arm pump’) at the Spanish GP and a subsequent surgery, he didn’t let it hold him back. He showed it wasn’t a fluke at the next round, the Portuguese GP.
From an opening Factory debut fifth place he went on to take a brilliant win at the second round in Qatar (Doha GP). Quartararo showed he meant business early on in the season. Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP rider Fabio Quartararo put in a superb performance today at the Gran Premio del Made in Italy e dell'Emilia-Romagna, taking fourth place to secure the 2021 MotoGP World Championship Title in his first year with the Factory Yamaha Team.
