Quartararo and Yamaha enter an intensive testing phase

After a Grand Prix of the Americas focused on testing new parts, fabio quartararo and Alex Rins arrive in Spain with clear ideas: what has been tried does not work.

The three days of action on the Jerez circuit will therefore be approached with the same work dynamic, with a view to preparing for the official tests on Monday. Before the Spanish GP, Yamaha also carried out private tests on the Barcelona circuit with its test rider.

“Although we have worked hard, we are now entering one of the busiest periods of this season for Yamaha, assures Massimo Meregalli, team director of the team. The team was in Barcelona for a private test with Cal Crutchlow last week. This week we have the Spanish GP, immediately followed by the official test.

All these events are very important for our team, He continues. We have developments to make in the fairly near future, and the data we collect over these few weeks will be very valuable. »

Before racing on the track where he scored his first success in the premier category, Fabio Quartararo also ensures that the Japanese factory is sparing no effort.

“I celebrated my birthday last weekend and I want to thank everyone because I received a lot of messages. But now we're getting back to work, adds #20. We tried a lot of things in Austin, which was good because it gave us more clarity.

Cal Crutchlow, did some testing in Barcelona last week, and we also have a one-day test here in Jerez after the race. We have high hopes for this busy period of racing, because we need to make progress on our main objective which is to develop the bike” concludes the 2021 world champion.
