The improvements to Yamaha’s YZR-M1 have been spotted after 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo’s scintillating display at Le Mans.

The factory Yamaha rider claimed pole position𝔍 at last weekend’s French MotoGP, a huge milestone for♛ the project which has struggled for over two years.

Quartararo finished fourth in the sprint then br𒅌ie☂fly led a chaotic grand prix, before crashing out in wet conditions.

Nevertheless, the vast improvement of Yamaha’s MotoGP bike has not gone unnoticed.

A V4 engine is being carefully developed in the background, but Yamaha brought a new inline-four engine to Le Mans after testing it in Jerez. All four riders were equipped wiꦡth the new engine.

New quirks to Yamaha MotoGP bike analysed

Michael Laverty analysed the M1 for TN💙T Sports, saying: “They improved torque, acceleration off the turꦏn, and top speed.

“Usually, that combinat♍ion makes the bike harder to 𓂃ride. But all of the riders are happy. No negatives.

“It still has that sweet deli💜very that a Yamaha is s𓂃ynonymous for. It’s working.

“I spoke to Max Bartolini. He said they have worked to give it me𓆏chanical grip with the engine.

“They’ve also worked on t🍬he aero package a lot this year. It looks similar to 2024 butไ every area has been breathed upon.

“He said they are a little limited because of the width of the inl🌟ine across t🌳he frame engine.

“🧸They🔯 need to increase downforce but it’s a constant evolution.

“They have changed the frame a number of times already this year. It’s so thin. Maxi♚mum 10ml thickness, even around the swing and arm pivot, where usually you beef up for strength to avoid the twist on acceleration.

“They want this flex to allow the bike to turn at maximum lean a🐼ngle when the suspension doesn’t do🦩 a lot.

“They have switched back to aluminium. They have tried and tesꦗted various carbon iterations of the swingarm. But old school works - it gi🐷ves feel and performance.

“Interestingly, they have ditched the rear 🌸hugger. Without the hugger, it allows the wheel to go up into the rear tank, when the loweri🍸ng device is deployed.

“Instead, they’ve got a cool-looking sensor. There are five infra-red sensors💮 on this rear tyre to monitor the surface temperature.

“Stopping wiꦉth this Michelin rear is still key. It’s something Yamaha are working to fix - they haven’t got it yet.

“Max was saying they’re constantly working to develop. But every time they change, the🐓y find an improvement in one area, but a negative in another.”

🦋Quartararo, as with every rider, has individual quirks that enable him to 🐠go faster.

“A personal🌺 preference ♈for Fabio - a tank pod,” Laverty spotted.

“It keeps h൩is bum further back on the seat, in the braking area, which puts load into the tyre.

“His riding style? He’s quite long, in terms of his torso, and he has a flat back, so he naturally gets load on the rear tyre. That hꦕelps with stopping.”

There is a long way to g🤡o for Yamaha, but a major step forward in competitiveness has been taken.
