The fast and flowing Assen circuit do♕esn’t play to the strengths of the new Yamaha e⛦ngine.

That was the verdict of 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Rins after Friday practice for the Dutch MotoGP.

Each rider has one of the new engin꧅es a🍸vailable this weekend, after a promising performance in a private test at the stop-go Valencia track.

“The new engine works pretty well, but here in Assen, this is not a track where this engine will mak🐭e a big difference,” Quartararo explained. 

“For me, at tracks like Austria and Misano this engine will be better. We 🌺are also still working on turning and the agility.”

Team director Massimo Meregalli confirmed: “Both riders noticed an improveme🙈nt with the new engine, but the Aꦓssen track happens to be one of the few tracks where this does not make a lot of a difference because of its lay-out.”

Quartararo and Rins✃ went on to qualify 13th a🍃nd 16th at Assen.

Meanwhile, both ri🎃ders welcomed the news thaℱt the factory team won't be alone in 2025, following the factory’s new deal with Pramac Racing.

“Honestly, I'm super happy that Pramac Racing is joining Yamaha,” said Quar♑tarar💞o. 

“Last year they won the Teams’ Title… and to have two more Yamahas on track next year is amazing, to b🐈e faster and collect more data. 

"So, I am super happy that Pramac will join us.”

Rins, yet to officially re-sign but expected to stay for 2025, said: “I'm quite excited that the Pramac Rac🌃ing Team is joining us. 

"We wil♌l have more data in the future to work with if we have two more bikes ꦫon track, so it's good news.

“I already know from previous seasons that it is great to have datꦚa coming in from other riders with di🐼fferent riding styles, so it is going to be important.”

“Ha🐟ving two extra Factory bikes will benefit our team too, as it increases the data pool and it aids bike development,” echoed Meregalli.
