The riders of the official Yamaha team after the first day of MotoGP testing in Sepang. The Italian: “I concentrated on driving, it means that the knee does not give problems. I feel small improvements with each new piece ”. The world champion: “I don’t see the corner speed of 2021”
The Yamaha MotoGP crux was the engine. And after the first official tests in Sepang (Malaysia), that knot is still there, knotted. Not that it’s a huge problem, we’re just at the beginning of the maturation process new M1, however Fabio Quartararo was clear: “I don’t see many differences so far compared to last year”. Franco Morbidelli is more satisfied, happy above all because “I was able to concentrate only on the bike, my knee didn’t give me any problems”.

The French, 2021 World Champion, explained: “The engine is similar to last year, I didn’t do a real time attack because I rode a lot on the medium, then I didn’t feel the benefits of the soft. We will see on the second day ”. Then another not exactly positive note: “I did not perceive cornering speed, which was our strong point in 2021, on Day2 I want to work on this aspect. I have to concentrate on clean riding in order to better understand the differences, for now the bike looks similar to me but tomorrow I want to be more aggressive ”. And the puzzle about power remains unsolved, for now: “Yes, I asked Yamaha for more power but it’s not like you invent something like this overnight. And if you don’t have power, you adapt with the best guide ”.

For a Quartararo not exactly exalted, a more relaxed and happy Morbidelli: “The operated knee went well, you can see that we worked hard and well in the months of rest. I was able to concentrate on driving, which is very significant, I think I will be 100% for the Qatar GP on March 6 ”. For the Roman driver, at the first real tests as a factory driver, a positive approach: “The team works well, I did about sixty laps and I managed to replicate the times, I kept the pace and it is a good aspect. We are trying to make the tires work well, I think I have found the right direction, I felt small but constant improvements with each new piece we put on. On Day2 I will also try a new chassis and we’ll see ”.
