Once upon a time there were the fantastic four. We are not talking about Mister Fantastic, the Thing, the Human Torch and the Invisible Woman, but about Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo, Dani Pedrosa and Casey Stoner, who fought on Yamaha, Ducati and Honda from 2007 to 2012 in the MotoGP class. , before the arrival of Marc Marquez, capable of imposing its brand on the premier class since its debut in 2013, winning six out of seven championships from 2013 to 2019 with the sole exception of 2015 when Jorge Lorenzo won.
The last time on the starting grid a rider honored his rank by racing with number 1 was Casey Stoner. And it is the Australian from whom Fabio Quartararo would ‘steal’ the pure talent. Last Sunday El Diablo crowned with the conquest of the world title with two races to spare a practically perfect season in which he obtained five victories. Interviewed by The Republic drew the identikit of the perfect driver: “My style resembles that of Jorge Lorenzo. I would steal the titles and popularity from Rossi. And I would like to have the aggressiveness of Marquez, the way in which Pedrosa pulls up the bike, the elegance of Lorenzo, the pure talent of Stoner. But I’m happy to be Fabio Quartararo ”.
The Yamaha rider will continue to race with the beloved number 20 without bringing number 1 to the starting grid: “Valentino has won 9 titles and has always kept his 46. So I also prefer to stay with 20: that’s how I started, and I want to finish my career. Everything is simpler “. The fact that he is number one will keep it in his head, a status achieved after having erased the difficulties of the past with the help of a psychologist. Quartararo in 2022 will have to defend the scepter from the desire for restoration by Marc Marquez and the success of Francesco Bagnaia and Jorge Martin. The number one, however, is now him.
