But Yamaha are also impr🉐oving their current inline-4, team boss Massimo Meregalli confirmed.

“The testing team is busy developing both,” he said. “The current bike [Inline-4] and the new bike [V4 engine]. With the new bike we have done only 🦩a functionality test.

“We are not in the moment to evaluate the performance. The factory guys will test this bike only when we believe the perf⭕ormance is good e꧋nough to feel it, to understand it.”

Yamaha’s test in Barcelona was in addi💛tion to the official MotoGP Aragon test o🀅n Monday.

Concessions rules allow Yamaha a𝓀nd Honda extra days of𒆙 testing to fast-track their improvement.

“It’s always importan𒁃t to test,” Meregalli said. “You don’t have enough time for testing anywhere, anytime.

If you see the final race💖 results - we cannot say it has been positive.”

Merega🌟lli spotted a difference between Yamaha’s efforts at the Aragon MotoGP thiꦆs year compared to 2024.

“But if we compare it to last year? We finished with a gap of 39s, but [this year] was 19𝄹s,” he said𝐆.

“The fastest lap last year was 1.3s, [this year] was less than four tenths. This is where we are monitoring the improvement of the bike. Fabio did a really good lapꦫ time. I liked how, on Friday we struggled, but on Saturday we got into Q2 to start the race from the third row.

“We had some updates in the engine, just little updates. We always explore set-ups that we cannot do during the race weekend. T♎he plan was longer than the 🌠time we had!

“Our way to work is: if they feel no negatives, then it’s the🐻 path we work with. Iඣt’s a matter of fine-tuning.”
