Fabio Quartararo

Fabio Quartararo — "El Diablo" — is genuinely one of the most exciting things to happen to MotoGP in years, and I say that as someone who watched him come up through the junior classes looking like a kid who had absolutely no business being that fast. Born in Nice in 1999, he became the first French rider ever to win the premier-class MotoGP World Championship when he clinched the 2021 title with Yamaha, and the way he dragged that M1 to victories on sheer riding brilliance — especially when the bike wasn't always the strongest package — was seriously impressive. Earning the Legion of Honour at 22 is not something that happens to just anyone. He's still young enough to have multiple championship windows ahead of him, and I'm genuinely rooting for him to get another shot.
