Yamaha’s all-new V4 MotoGP project is set to return to the track next month, aꦛs the Japanese man✨ufacturer continues its private testing programme ahead of a possible 2026 debut.

Test rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Augusto Fernandez, who recently completed laps with the prototype after the Qatar Grand Prix 🍒at Valencia, confir♚med that another outing is scheduled soon.

“Next month, I think,” Fernandez, currently replacing the injured Miguelꦛ Oliveira at Pramac, told 🌟MotoGP.com at Jerez. “It was a positive test - interesting to develop the new project.

“It’s very early to even compare the bike♉s, but the project looks nice. Yaꦉmaha is doing a great job.”

The V4 engine marks a major technical shift for Yamaha, which has relied on its traditional Inline4 configuration throughout its four-stroke MotoGP history, includ🌌ing title glory as recently as 2021🌜 with Fabio Quartararo.

Howeverﷺ, the M1 has struggled to match the performance of its V4 rivals from Ducati, KTM, Aprilia, and Honda in recent seaso♏ns.

Quartararo revealed Valencia had been “the second test with the 🍃[V4] bike.”

Team-mate Alex Rins ad🐟ded with a smile: “If I say to you that I didn’t speak with Augusto about it, I would b♕e lying!”

Yamaha insists the V4 will only replace the current machine when it proves to be faster, but Quartararo 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:already feels it will be the directionꦇ to go in for the final season of the 1000cc regu🎃lations in 202෴6.

The full-time Yamaha race riders are not expected to test the V4 until "around August or September" while F﷽ernandez could give it a public debut as a wild-card later in the season.
