Fabio Quartararo admits Yamaha had a “really strange day” in its first outing at the Buriram MotoGP test in Thailand.
“The Iwata-based factory entered the test with confidence after a successful week in Sepang, but struggled in Thailand as Quartararo and Rins finished 13th and 12th on the opening day. Quartararo spoke about his difficulties with the front tires, expressing the need for improvement to ride faster. Despite not identifying the exact cause behind the lack of confidence in the front end, Quartararo suspects it’s related to the tires rather than the YZR-M1 itself. Yamaha has made progress in straight-line speed, as Quartararo noted after following Alex Marquez during the test. Looking ahead to the second day, Quartararo plans to push the bike to the limit to test its performance under pressure and explore different strategies for improvement.”
