Quartararo enjoyed top speed and used tyre performance during the ꦆpreseason Sepang test 😼but, much like most of last season, desired more power.

Yamaha, whose machinery lagged behind 𓃲Ducati’s in 2022, have committed to an engine after trialling two in Sepang.

Team director Maio Meregalli said: “We have not been able to🌞 evaluate all th🍰e components. We are happy, on one hand. On the other hand? A bit less so. 

“We had 🐬three high aims. The engine, the aerodynamics, and to get back💟 the turning which in the past two years has been missing.

“In each area, we put in a lot of effort.

“We compared the engine and the aero pac🉐kage but unfortunately we could not test any new chassis, or a different rear.🍰 Because time did not allow.

“We had two slightly different engines, both riders liked one. At least the maiℱn topiඣc has been fixed and decided.

“W🍌e need to reevaluate a few aero things in Portimao. It is not e🦩asy to evaluate everything in one test. It is always better to do it in two different tracks.

“Luck🦋ily weღ have parts already prepared in case we want to homologate one or the other.”

Meregalli did not clarify whether Yamaha had opted for Quartararo or his teammate 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Morbidelli’s p🥂refꦆerred engine - but it is safe to assume they will back the 2021 champion over the rider who is reportedly battling to keep his seat.

So Quartararo will be hoping that Yamaha’s conclusive choice to pursue one engine option will pay dividends, so he is no longer lagging behind the likes of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Francesco Bagnaia when the season begins.
