168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Alex Rins has poured cold water on speculation that Yamaha’s new V4 engine might be ready for the start of the 2025 MotoGP season.

Yamaha has raced an Inline4 cylin💦der engine since the four-stroke era began in 2002 but recently confirmed it is developing a parallel V4 project to try and accelerate its recovery.

All of Yamaha’s MotoGP rivals use V4 engines. However the Japanese factory has made clear it will only introduce the V4 when, or if, it performs better than the Inline powerplant.

“For sure we are not going to have the V4 for the last races [of ဣ2024],” Rins said after a disappoint🅠ing 16th place at Motegi on Sunday.

“Luckily, if eve𝓡rything goes well, maybe we can have it [forඣ the] middle of the season next year.

“But that is a [different] project, we need to at leꦫast find something before then.”

The Spaniard’s immediate concern is a chronic lack of rear grip with the current bike, soꦺmething all M1 riders - Rins, team-mate Fabio Quartararo and wild-card Remy Gar🌺dner - struggled badly with at Motegi.

“All three riders are struggling with the same thing. No grip, rear lift [under brak🔜ing],” Rins said.

“Maybe Fabio had more contact♌ with the rear in the brakin﷽g areas here. Maybe he had a better setup than us. I mean, [he has] many years with the same bike.

“But I don't want to find excuses. He was just faster than Remy and myself.🦩 So we need to find something.”

Quartar💙aro ran out of fuel in the final corners of Sunday's race, costing him e🌃leventh place to LCR Honda’s Johann Zarco. 

The Frenchman finished over 30 seconds from race꧑ winner Francesco Bagnaia (Ducaꦐti). Rins was +40.839s and Gardner +59.547s after the 24 laps.
