Franco Morbidelli  feels better prepared for Sunday’s Teruel MotoGP  after qualifying on the front row of the grid as the highest-placed Yamaha a week after a torrജid afternoon for its already  slimmed down entry.

Though Yamaha remain comes into this weekend’s event still down in numbers in the wake of Valent꧂ino Rossi’s ongoing COVID-19 determined absence,  it still fared well in qualifying  at Aragon with Morbidelli leading its challenge in second place, with Maverick V🐬inales fourth and Fabio Quartararo sixth.

However, after the trio -  starting first, secꦯond and fourth - went backwards in the race as they struggled to contain the  chasing pack , Morbidelli is more confident the team has made 🦋a breakthrough  to ensure they are more competitive this time around.

"It was a great lap and I really had fun out there today, I had a good feeling on the bike. We worked well together, like we did last weekend, and we’re on a good path. I think tomorrow I need to be a bit sharper in the first laps and increase our pace, compared to the l꧃ast race. 

“FP4 was g💜ood to loo🌞k at the tyres, as we need to make our choice for tomorrow and we need to find the right setting for the race. I do think things are a bit clearer now, especially with the data from last weekend as well. 

“We used the soft tyre for the 🍰time attack and we were looking at the medium front for the race tomorrow. Still, we ne🐈ed to wait and see what happens, but being on the front row is good and hopefully it will be a great race.”
