After testing various new parts tಞhroughout the day, some of which were chassis, aerodynamics and engine related, the 2021 MotoGP champion has come away fro🃏m the opening day of pre-season testing happy with his and Yamaha’s work.

The top speed improvements shown by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Cal Crutchlow during the Shakedown test were backed up by Quartararo as he posted a top speed of 334.3km/h which was just two kilometres down on what 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Enea Bastianini managed.

• Zarco: “Sho𓄧cking” to see level of riders - “no-one stopped” du🐬ring winter

However, the Yamaha rider was only 11th when it came to the quickest lap times after finishing nine tenths off 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marco Bezzecchi.

But unlike the Ducati rider, Quartararo did not attempt a fast lap as he instead went through the busi🍰esওt test day of his career. 

“Today was not an easy day because in the end we had to test many things,” added Quartararo. “We don’t have a lot of tyres for the test so today we had to use the tyres that we didn’t really wan▨t. 

“It was not easy, especially after three months without riding but I’m feeling pretty happy𒀰. 𒆙;

“The top speed has improved and now we have to look at the chassis, aerodynamics and throttle response of the engine which is something I was struggling a little bit with toda🍸y. But I will say that it was a positive day.” 

While better top speed continues to be a positive sign for the Japanese manufacturer, Yam𝄹aha’s improvements may have affected the traditional strengths of the M1, which is cornering performance.

Speaking about getting the balance between both areas right, Quartararo said: "Yeah that is positive because in the past year we were also strug🍸gling with the chassis but♕ especially on top speed. 

"Now top speed is a little bit better but 🌳now we are struggling a little bit more in the corners. We hav𓆉e two more days here and two days in Portimao. 

"Like I said I tried so many things today which meant w🍰e didn’t focus on which 🥀was the best bike. 

"We didn’t really focus on making the 👍best lap but top speed is something that is really ✱important and we made a big step."

Having had smaller parts to test in previous years, Quartararo was certainly put through his paces after three months away from riding a MotoG🌳P bike.

No two runs were the sꦚame for Quartararo as finding a clear answe🐠r on the character of the chassis, aerodynamics and engine response were all targeted.

Quartararo said: "It was a 💖day where we tried many things but we couldn’t really see if it was better or not. We tried a new chassis and the response was pretty clear. The engine response was also pretty clear and the aerodynamics. 

"It’s something that at the end; it’s the first time in my career that I ma🐼ke a test [day like this]. Basically, the previous years we tried a swingarm, some settings, but today in one day I tried more than in a full test. It was a little bit of a mess but it was good for the experience."
