Pramac Yamaha MotoGP rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Miller says the debate over whethe♋r or not a V4 or an inline four-cylinder engine is better “is a fad”.

Yamaha caused a stir late last year when it announced it was working on a V4 programme for the first time in the modern era, having previously stuck to its inline fourಌ engine philosophy.

The only manufacturer on the grid with that engine co💮nfiguration, Yamaha has been quizzed for a number of years about switching to a V4.

Whiꦆle there is no track debut in sight for Yamaha’s new V4, Pramac rider Miller believes the inline four “is strong” having come from V4s at Ho💮nda, Ducati and KTM.

“Not so much. You ride every bike differently,” he said😼 when as𝄹ked at the recent Sepang pre-season test if he has needed to adjust his riding style to the inline four.

“As a rider, you understand ꦛwhat the bike needs. My riding style hasn’t changed.

“You ride how the bike allows you to. If it allows maximum corner speed, that’s what you do. If you realise ‘s*** I can turn’ youﷺ keep working in that direction.

“Most motorcycle riders can work that out. We’re simple fellas but we can w🤪ork that out.

It’s easy to work out what the bike wants from you. The character o🃏f🐭 the engine is different.

“But it’s awesome to step onto one of these things. It’s different, the power curve. It’s a considerable amount different eveꩲn to the bike I rode in Barcelona.

“I🧔 have rode screamers, big bangs, and now an inlin✤e.

“It ♚doesn’t matter if it’s a Yamaha 450, a Honda 450, or a motocross bike - the𒁏 power curve is always different.

“It d𝓀oes what it does very well. Iꦇ believe this whole ‘V4 or no V4’ is a fad. I don’t believe it’s set in stone that you need a V4.

“There are pros and cons to eဣverything. The inline-4 that we have, at the moment, is strong.”

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo recently cautioned that a V4 won’t fix all of Yamaha’s problems, pointing to the fact Honda has run V4s for years and is even further behind in the𒊎 competitive order.

At the Sepang test, Yamaha looked to have made clear progress with its M1, with Quartararo's form in particular catc♑hing the eye of Ducati team boss David Tardozzi.

Testing c🐽ontinues this week at Buriram in Thailand on 12-13 February, with the opening round of the season taking place at the same venue on 28 Februღary - 2 March.
