Yamaha Managing Director Lin Jarvis has outlined his team’s commitment in its attempts to reward Fabio Quartararo’s faith for penning a new two-year MotoGP deal.

The Frenchman silenced rumours of a potential defection to a rival manufacturer at the end of the season by agreeing a new contract with the Monster Energy Yamaha Racing team that will keep him with the factory outfit for 2025 and 2026.

The deal will extend Quartararo’s relationship with the manufacturer stretching back to his debut season in 2019, the first of two years spent with Petronas SRT before being promoted to the official operation as a successor to Valentino Rossi.

A show of commitment from both parties, it comes as Yamaha continues to weather a decline in competitiveness relative to its title-winning campaign with Quartararo in 2021.

Indeed, though Quartararo has been vocal in his frustrations at Yamaha’s struggle to keep up with the pace of development shown by Ducati, KTM and Aprilia especially, the manufacturer has responded by promising to initiate a number of key changes with regards to the development direction of the M1.

As such, Quartararo has stated he is staying on board to play his part in the team’s evolution, a declaration of faith that Jarvis says Yamaha is determined to repay.

"Keeping Fabio as a part of the Factory Team is integral to Yamaha's MotoGP Project. Fabio is an exceptional talent, a hard worker, a great team player, and he has many competitive years ahead of him.

"Yamaha Motor Company, Yamaha Motor Racing, and the Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team are sparing no effort to ensure a bright future with Fabio by taking a more 'aggressive approach' to bike development.

"We have already made significant changes to our organisation including a new internal management system, recruitment of top expertise within the industry, new external technical partnerships, increased development budget, and an intensified testing programme. All these changes are designed to speed up the process for us to return to winning ways.

"Fabio has understood this commitment, and this has given him the confidence to make his decision to stay with us for the coming years.

"Fabio has been with Yamaha since 2019 and with us, the Factory Team, since 2021. In a relatively short time span of just four years, we achieved many successes: 8 wins, 21 podiums, a MotoGP World Title, and a Vice Champion Title.”
