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 extr🌜acting performance over one lap.

And while the 2024 M1 appears to be a better bike at this early stage of pr🦋e-season testing, issues with generating the full potential over one lap remain.

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

“Exit of the corners is where ou🍌r bike is still shaking quite  alot and we have to improve it. We have to work ha𓄧rd and see if we can find something extra tomorrow.”

What is clear is t𝄹hat Yamaha have made a step forward regarding their top ♑speed.

Quartararo had one of the better top speeds on day two in Sepang, although he did adm♏it that braking late h✃elps 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 veryꦰ fast but the 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 have t⛄o improve our fast lap. Our one lap w💖e are missing so much and this is our biggest problem right now. 

“Even though we trꦑied many things on the bike today, at the end, whꦯen 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.”

11th fastest come the end of pl𝔉ay, 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 French rider, who says the new bike is lower to the ground, will rely on the data from Alex Rins beꦦfore attempting a practice start on day-three.

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

“I had a little issue at the end and🌟 could not m🎃ake the practice start.

“Hopefully w🎶e 🅠can make better starts. Our bike is a little bit lower than last year which is positive.

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