We brought him to the Factory team last year knowing he was a special talent, but he even exceeded our expectations. It is not often that you meet a driver of his caliber. He had already shown his speed in the two years he spent with the SRT satellite team in 2019 and 2020, but when he moved to the Factory team we could see his growth and maturation as a rider. In Fabio’s first season and a half we recorded many successes: 6 wins, 14 podiums and the 2021 MotoGP world title. These results were achieved thanks to a great team effort by the rider, his crew, our engineers and all team staff who worked together with a positive spirit. We know that Fabio will always put 100% of his commitment, we have assured him that Yamaha will do the same and will invest in future developmentsso that we can challenge the MotoGP world titles together for years to come“.
