Fabio Quartararo (Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP) has his first World Championship match point at the upcoming Gran Premio Nolan del Made in Italy e dell’Emilia-Romagna, and if the Frenchman can claim the crown, he’ll be joining an exclusive 15-rider club. However, a title in Moto3™ and Moto2™ never came to fruition before Quartararo moved to MotoGP™ in 2019 with Petronas Yamaha SRT. And now, in 2021, the 22-year-old is close to claiming the MotoGP™ title. However, as we know, there’s no set way to become a MotoGP™ World Champion. 2006 MotoGP™ King, the late, great Nicky Hayden, didn’t even race in the lower classes on his journey to becoming a much-adored title winner. So, will Quartararo add his name to that list of World Champions?
