While race pace was a strength for Yamaha and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo throughout the 2023 MotoGP season, their main problems were to do with extracting performance ove༒r one lap.

And while the 2024 M1 appears to be a better bike at this early stage of pre-season te꧒sting, issues with generatiꦍng the full potential over one lap remain.

Quartararo said this about the time attack issues: “We don’t know. Fast lap, it is wher🐟e we miss but we don’t know exactly where.

“Exit of the corners is where our bike is still shaking quite  alot and we have to imp✃rove it. We have to work hard and see if we can find something extra tomorrow.”

What is clear is that Yamaha have made a step forward regarding 🔥their top speed.

Quartararo had one of the better top speeds on day two i🍷n Sepang, although he did admit that braking late helps with that.

“I think the speed is also with the braking reference,” began Quartararo. “I’m not saying the bike is slow, the bike is very fast but th🍎e braking reference also makes it a little bit strange on the top speed.

“But this is super positive to have a fast bike but we still h♋ave to improve our fast lap. Our one lap we are missing so much and this is our biggest problem right now. 

“Even though ꦅwe tried many things on the bike today, at the end, when you put the new tyres; I was not lost, but we tried many items. It was a little bit strange but still we are🃏 missing a lot.”

𒅌11th fastest come the end of play, Quartararo missed out on a practice start due to a technical issue, which is the second day that’s happened after his holeshot device didn’t work on 🌺Tuesday.

The Fr𒉰ench rider, who says the new bike is lower to the ground, will rely on the data from Alex Rins before attempting a practice start on day-three.

“Yesterday my holeshot device was not working and today I didn’t make any starts,” said Quartararo. “Alex [Rins] did so the data will be great to se๊e.

“I had a 🦹little issue at the end and could not make the praಌctice start.

“Hopefully we can make better starts. Our bike is a little bit lower than last ye🦹ar w🀅hich is positive.

“We are improving little-by-little but 🥀on the time attack still nothing and thiꦜs is where we need to improve.”
