MotoGP 2019: 5 Talking Points from the French Grand Prix

#4 Quartararo is a star of the future

The form, the speed, the temperament, and the composure that Fabio has shown earmarks him as the rider for the future

Last two races should be evidenced enough for anyone to earmark Fabio Quartararo as the star of the future.

This kid is special and on that Petronas Yamaha, he's put together exhibition after exhibition of his great talent in the last two races.

He was unlucky to have missed out on the podium at Jerez and slightly unfortunate with the start in LeMans. But his racing, his speed, and his composure have shown that this kid is meant for big things.

He's given Franco Morbidelli, Rossi's prodigy, a run for his money and by the end of the year, it would be interesting to see who ends up on top in the standings.

He's already notched up a pole position in that Yamaha and it won't be a surprise if he pulls off something similar before the season ends.
