Quartararo has “good connection” with Yamaha’s ex-Ducati MotoGP engineer
“Bartolini is a key addition to Yamaha’s team, brought in from Ducati to help improve their performance after a disappointing 2023 season. He previously worked closely with Gigi Dall’Igna at Ducati before joining Yamaha. The team also recruited aerodynamics engineer Marco Nicotra from Ducati for the upcoming season. Despite making progress in terms of speed during pre-season testing, Yamaha continued to struggle with grip issues, much to Quartararo’s frustration. Quartararo acknowledges that Bartolini is still new to the team and it will take time for him to make a significant impact, but he appreciates his working style. Quartararo is patient and optimistic about the team’s potential for success in the future, praising the good connection and communication they have with Bartolini.”
