Maverick Vinales will welcome Fabio Quartararo next season when the two line up together on the MotoGP for Monster Energy Yamaha.
Following a delay due to the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 MotoGP season got underway last weekend and it was Petronas Yamaha SRT's Quartararo who got off to a fast start by winning the Spanish Grand Prix for his first race victory.
After debuting last year, the 21-year-old has had a fast rise and is signed to the Yamaha Factory team on a two-year deal starting next season -- where he will replace legendary rider Valentino Rossi.
