What's so unique about Quartararo's MotoGP situation (ad-free)
Added 2025-05-06 13:41:21 +0000 UTCIs Fabio Quartararo the first truly elite MotoGP rider to be trapped in the series' midfield for as long as he has been?
Host Valentin Khorounzhiy discusses this with Simon Patterson on the latest edition of The Race MotoGP Podcast, ahead of Quartararo's home race at Le Mans that comes on the heels of a best-in-years weekend at Jerez.
The show also delves into Quartararo's decision to stay put at Yamaha for 2025, the chances of him doing so again in 2027 - and the question of whether his lack of championship opportunities as he enters his theoretical prime as a rider is weighing on him.
Finally, Val and Simon talk about the rest of Yamaha's line-up, discussing whether Jack Miller should count on a 2026 extension, whether Alex Rins's disappointing-so-far Yamaha tenure is likely to improve and whether it would make sense for Yamaha to try to bring in Toprak Razgatlioglu.

For a moment there I was worried we were gonna have an episode where Simon talked about Fabio and didnβt mention the devil. So glad you got around to it π But yeah, your point about comparing Marc to Fabio is interesting. Sometimes I really do wonder what the standings would look like if every one was on the same material. I love the fact that we gave different factories, but it would be interesting.
