Key weakness of Yamaha pinpointed as Fabio Quartararo rediscovers “fire”
Clear area where Yamaha struggle is highlighted

Fabio Quartararo has been advised 💞where his Yamaha’s obvious fault is.
The 2021 MotoGP champion 💞enjoyed a fantastic outing last timꦍe out in Qatar, particularly on the Saturday.
He was momentarily in pole position but ultimately had to settle for a front row start, a hugely encouraging result for the Yamaha rider whose bike has struggled ༒since his title win.
168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Quartararo finished P5 in the sprint and P7 i꧑n the grand prix to leav♎e Qatar with renewed hope for Yamaha’s project.
“It is even more th🐻an expected,” Quartararo said after qꦉualifying in Qatar.
“The one-lap pace ✃was good. We can be quite꧙ happy with what we have done.”
But Yamaha still have a long way 🌱to go before they are regularly mixing it with 👍the dominant Ducatis.
The Japanese manufacturer has often str🌸uggled with their qualifying pace, it was noᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚted.
“They have struggled ful▨l-stop, even in races,” Sylvain Guintoli analysed for TNT Sports.
“It has been hard. But this year we ha♋ve seen glimpses. We saw Quartararo super-fast in🍬 winter testing in Sepang.
“We saw Jack Miller take risks, and make it pay off straight a꧙way, in Buriram then in Austi๊n with a top five.
“It looks like it’s almost there…
“What they need to find, foཧr me, is the consistency in efficiency in corne🐬r exit.
“This is where the Ducati excels, a🔜nd where the Yamaha is not quite there yet.
“Fabio says 🅘that when the grip in the rear drops, they don’t have that efficiency anyꦯmore and they lose performance.
“But the bike turns well, looks stable, looks like it gives a lot of feedback t𒀰o the riders.♑”
Fabio Quartararo rediscovers 'fire' at Yamaha

Michael Lavert📖y added: “It helps the Yamaha when the grip is increase♈d.
“They can turn tighter, get traction, acc🅷elerate off the turn to ma👍tch Ducati.
“It works so well, when it works. But when it 🌳drops off, Fabio isꦍ all at sea.”
Quartararo retained faith in Yamaha’s ability to restore their project to the summit of MotoGP when he penned a new contract last 💜year.
Now reportedly the highest-pai𝓰d rider in MotoGP, Quartaღraro is hoping that Yamaha can take major strides this year.
The addition of the Pramac satellite team has given them dou🏅ble the bikes, riders and data. Miller has impressed at Pramac riding a Yamaha, finishing fifth at the Americas MotoGP.
Yamaha have also started testing their V4 engine in a hugᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚe sig🌼n of things to come.
Laverty said about Quartararo: “When he was putting it on the front row a few years ago, he was going for th♚e victory.
“He has had to recalibrateไ, re-set. It’s prom🎉ising to see because he was a bullhound when he initially came into MotoGP on the Petronas Yamaha.
“It’s good to see that fire. He can point to Jack Miller’s perform𒁏ance to elevate Fabio🐻’s performances.”
