But Yamaha are ♚also improving their current inline-4, team boss Massimo Meregalli confirmed.

“The testing team is🌃 busy developing both,” he said. “The current bike [Inline-4] and the new bike [V4 engine]. With the new bike we have done only a functionality✨ test.

“We are not in the moment to evaluate the performance. The factory guys will test this bike onl꧂y when we believe the performance is good enough to feel it, to understand it.”

Yamaha’s test in Barcelona was in addition to the official MotoGP Aragon test on ♛Monday.

Concessions rules allow Yamaha and Honda extra days of testing to fa♏st-track their improvement.

“It’s always important to🌼 test,” Meregalli said. “You don’t ha🅺ve enough time for testing anywhere, anytime.

If you s♌ee the final race results - we cannot say it has been positive.”

Meregalli🦂 spotted a differen🐬ce between Yamaha’s efforts at the Aragon MotoGP this year compared to 2024.

“But if we compare it to last year? We finished with a gap of 39s, buꦇt [this year] wܫas 19s,” he said.

“The fastest lap last year was 1.3s, [this year] was less than four tenths. This is where we are monitoring the 🤡improvement of the bike. Fabio did a really good lap time. I liked how, on Friday we struggled, but on Saturday we got into Q2 to start the race from the third row.

“We ha🅠d some updates in the engine, just little updates. We always explore set-ups that we cannot do during the r🅷ace weekend. The plan was longer than the time we had!

“Our way to work is: if they feel no negatives, then i𝓡t’s the path we work with. It’s a matter of fin♒e-tuning.”
