But Yamaha are also improving their current inline-4, team boss Massimoℱ 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 t꧋est this bike only when we believe the performance is good enough to feel it, to understand it.”

Yamaha’s test in Barcelona was in addition to the offici🐷al MotoGP Aragon te🎀st on Monday.

Concessions rules allow Yamaha and Honda extra days of testing to fast-track their 🌺improvement.

“It’s always important to test,” Meဣregalli said. “You don’t have enough timeဣ for testing anywhere, anytime.

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

Meregalli spotted a difference between Yamaha’s efforts at the Ar꧙agon MotoGP this year compared to 2024.

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

“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 lap 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 so꧟me updates in the engine, just little updates. We al𒊎ways explore set-ups that we cannot do during the race weekend. The 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.👍 It’s a matter of fine-tuning.”
