168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo’s contract renewal with Yamaha for the 2025 and 2026 MotoGP seasons means he and the tea🌟m can now ‘fully focus on the work we have to do’ – starting at COTA this weekend.

The Frenchman surprised many by re-signing so 🌜early, especially with little t🧸o show in terms of results in the opening rounds and rumours of interest from Portimao Sprint winner Aprilia.

But the former world champion believes he and Yamahౠa have “clearly stated our intentions” which, in his case, means bringing the factory “back to winning ways.”

“I'm ha꧒ppy to have a🃏nnounced my staying on with Yamaha. I think this will help us, both me and the team, because we have clearly stated our intentions,” Quartararo said.

“I want to bring Yamaha back to winning ways and they are motivated 🏅to develop the bike. So, now wꦰe can fully focus on the work we have to do to get to that point.”

Unfortunate☂ly for Quartararo and Yamaha, that work suffer✅ed a setback when the race team’s first private test of the year, scheduled for the Monday after Portimao, was ruined by bad weather.

“We arrive in Austin with work☂ to do. We lost the opportunity to test in Portimao, so we need to work hard ꩲthis weekend,” said Quartararo, who took his first grand prix podium in the Moto3 class at COTA in 2015, plus a premier-class rostrum last year. 

“We were very disappointed to be forced to cancel tꦯhe private Portimao test due to heavy rain,” added team director Massimo Meregalli. “But there was no point in putting our riders in harm's way in those treacherous ♕conditions. However, this does mean we need to make up for lost track time.

“COTA is not the easiest track, but we are optimistic about this round. O𝓰ur riders like this circuit and have scored wellಌ here in the past, and the team always enjoys the atmosphere at this race weekend too.

“With Fabio having announced his staying on, the mood in the team is positive. We're all motivated to work, so we look forward to starting the Austꦏin rodeo.”
