In his third season of MotoGP, Quartararo won a world title
After finishing fourth at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Yamaha's Fabio Quitararo won the MotoGP title.

Italy's Bagnaia led the race when he got off his bike with just five laps remaining. Honda's Marc Marquez won.
Quartararo, who began the race 15th on grid, said "It's incredible, right now it's living the dream."
"It feels great to have my family here with me, and we will enjoy tonight as well as the rest of the season."
Spanish rider Pol Espargaro came in second, with Enea Bastianini coming in third.
These nine titles were won by Spanish riders. Marquez won six of them, Yamaha's Jorge Lorenzo took the title in 2015 and 2012, and Suzuki's Joan Mir took the title in 2020.
"Today isn't my day, it is Fabio's." Marquez, who won his third win of the season, said that he wanted to congratulate him.
