In a recent heartfelt interview, MotoGP star Fabio Quartararo opened up about his parents’ struggles and the sacrifices they made to support his racing dream. The 25-year-old French rider, who grew up in a modest household, was moved to tears as he recounted the journey his family undertook to help him reach the pinnacle of motorcycle racing.
Quartararo shared how his parents, a locksmith and a hairdresser, worked tirelessly to provide him with the necessary resources to pursue a career in motorsport. Despite financial constraints, they made the bold decision to move from France to Spain when he was just 13, giving him a better shot at competing in the prestigious Spanish CEV Championship. “They put everything on the line for me,” he said, his voice choked with emotion. “The sacrifices they made are something I can never repay fully, but I try every time I’m out on the track.”
For Quartararo, racing is more than a sport; it’s a tribute to his family. He explained that his greatest motivation is the joy he brings to his parents with each race, win, or podium finish. “Seeing their smiles when I cross the line or hearing them cheer me on—that’s why I do it,” he admitted. “It’s the least I can do for them.” This revelation gives fans a glimpse into the personal side of Quartararo, a champion who remains deeply grounded by his family values and background.
