Fabio Quartararo has opted to utilize his unexpected time away from the track in a unique way. With the Yamaha factory and Pramac-Yamaha teams, including Toprak Razgatlioglu, missing the recent MotoGP event at the Lusail International Circuit in Qatar, the Frenchman kept his physical condition at a peak level by participating in the 18th edition of the Marathon des Alps-Maritimes along the French Riviera.
The withdrawal of the entire Yamaha fleet from the Qatar round left a significant void in the field, reducing the grid to only 16 riders. While the racing world turned its attention to the desert, the former world champion utilized his home advantage in Nice to push his endurance limits during the coastal running event.
Quartararo was joined at the starting line by his close friend and advisor, Tom Maubant. This endurance test serves as a mental and physical reset for the 27-year-old, who is currently standing on the precipice of a major career transition. After eight years of dedication to the Iwata manufacturer, the upcoming post-season test in Valencia on December 1st marks the start of a completely new chapter.
At the Ricardo Tormo circuit, fans and engineers alike will be watching closely as the Frenchman climbs aboard the Honda RC213V for the very first time. The machine will debut with a fresh design, prominently featuring Red Bull branding, signaling a high-stakes move aimed at revitalizing his performance in the premier class.
As the 2026 season nears its conclusion, the focus now shifts toward the final two rounds in Portugal and Valencia. For Quartararo, the transition represents more than just a bike swap; it is a strategic maneuver to regain his championship-contending form as the paddock prepares for the final showdowns of the year.
