It’s been a dream debut year in MotoGP™ for flying Frenchman Fabio Quartararo on board his Petronas Yamaha SRT machine and at the Motul Grand Prix of Japan, the 20-year-old bagged 2019 Rookie of the Year with three races remaining.
Despite the maiden win wait having to continue a little longer, Quartararo and his Petronas Yamaha SRT celebrated an astonishing season as the M1 rider propelled himself out of reach from Team Suzuki Ecstar’s Joan Mir.
“Yeah we had a meeting at the Malaysia test and we set the target of both riders, and they said: ‘Your target is to be rookie (of the year) this year,’” said Quartararo, speaking about his achievement.”
