RiderTua.com – According to Carlo Pernat: “Quartararo asked Yamaha for 20 million euros (approximately IDR 325 billion) for an extension of his contract”… If according to thesportsgrail media, Quartararo’s previous salary was 2.2 million euros per season (about 36 billion) meaning that the value was close to 10 times the salary this season.. Although it is not clear whether it is the amount of salary per season or the value of a one-time contract (10 million per year). Despite the holidays, riders and manufacturers have started to move with adjustments in technical and non-technical fields, including world champion Fabio Quartararo who seems to want to adjust the title to his coffers.. “From my information, Quartararo has made a very big request to Yamaha: I understand that he has asked for 20 million euros,” said Carlo Pernat as quoted from GPOne.com today (20/12). The reason is quite strong because Honda will talk to him..
The French racer set a high price because according to Pernat’s analysis he realized that Honda might need him, because it was not yet clear how Marc Marquez was.
A few weeks ago according to Manuel Pecino, Quartararo and Honda would have a meeting in Barcelona to discuss his future with the Japanese team. According to Manuel, Alberto Puig is interested in using Quartararo’s services. Honda is considering the possibility of bringing in a new racer. Spanish media Motosan, even wrote that Marc Marquez is approaching the age of 30, seeing the age of the MotoGP rookie now 18 years. With Marc’s injury it won’t be easy against young riders.. And the names of 2021 world champion Fabio Quartararo, 2020 world champion Joan Mir and 2021 rookie of the year Jorge Martin appear to be candidates for Repsol Honda 2023.
Whether this rumor is true or not, we’ll just have to wait for the next story, whether Yamaha’s actions will be calm or save this flagship racer.. Keep in mind that Yamaha’s budget for Valentino Rossi’s high salary can be replaced to cover this ‘threat’..
As additional information according to the Spanish media that value means 10 million per season. And ensure Quartararo with Monster Energy Yamaha until the end of 2024.. This salary is still far from Jorge Lorenzo at Ducati of 15 million Euros per year or 12 million per season that Valentino Rossi earned at Yamaha in his best season first.
