Fabio Quartararo on where Yamaha is losing: “Last sector is killing us”
Fabio Quartara൲ro says the final sector of the Catalun🌸ya circuit is ‘killing’ Yamaha’s hopes.
2021 MotoGP champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo made steady progress in the sprint race although he was hoܫping for more.
The pace from Quartararo was solid but unspectacular as he came across the line to﷽ finish tenth.
Asked if the race went as expected, Quartararo addeꦉd: “Half and half. Our bike is super sensitive to grip conditions. When it drops a little for the others it drops completely for us.ꦦ
“The start🔯ing point for our lap time was much slower but in terms of pace it was what I expected. The last sector is killing us.
“I had Jack in front but in the last sector we lose three tenths every lap. Unfortunately we could not be faster but🐠 it was a race we expected.”
Quartar𝐆aro pointed to ෴the feeling with the front tyre as one of the reasons why he has suffered in Barcelona.
Even so, Yamaha have made evidenꩵt steps♕ forward after Alex Rins made it into Q2 directly.
“I think the front tyre for me, was not like normal,” stated Quartararo. “The 70h which is the m🌜edium we used in this race is feeling super bad.
🌊“Like this morning It is not normal that I’m using the so💎ft tyre and the stability that I had was not good.
“I don’t understand the front tyre this wee𓄧kend and I think we are missing some confidence, but it is like this for everyone.”
Turning issues still plaguing Yamaha
What was once their strongest area is now one 𝕴of their weakest and Quartararo is hopeful big changes will change the c✃haracteristics of the current M1.
Detailing the weak area of the M1 and when changes will be made, Quartararo added: “It is a lot about turning and grip. It is exactly what we miss. The w🔜ay we used to turn in the past was our strong point and nꦬow it is where we struggle more.
🃏“Clearly, the lean angle that we are not able to ꦅdo and with the grip that is not helping us; the tyre is pushing us wide so it is critical.
“But I’m riding well and looking at the data we are pushing in the right d🌠irectio🅠n.
“But I'm looking forward to the test we have in Mugello and Valencia b🐻ecause it could be a big change for us.”
