Rear aero the main visual difference during latest Yamaha V4 MotoGP test.
“During the private test in Brno this week, Yamaha’s V4 MotoGP engine project underwent further development.
Test riders Andrea Dovizioso and Augusto Fernandez were seen testing the new prototype with updated rear aerodynamics in photos obtained by Speedweek.com.
The test, which took place on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Czech MotoGP circuit, included Honda and Yamaha MotoGP test teams, as well as Moto2 riders.
Due to their D-concession ranking, Japanese factories are allowed to use race riders at private tests, with Alex Rins and Miguel Oliveira representing Yamaha in this case.
Honda’s Luca Marini also returned to action for the first time since his Suzuka testing injuries.
In addition to the work on the current Inline M1 machine, Dovizioso and Fernandez tested the V4, with the most noticeable change being the introduction of a KTM-style rear wing.
Yamaha has not provided official comments on the private tests, but Managing Director Paolo Pavesio acknowledged that the development is still in its early stages and they are aiming for a specific direction based on rider feedback.”
