Yamaha Ra𝓰cing managing director Lin Jarvis explained the camouflage was symbolic of the team’s intention to be ‘aggressive’ in its quest to regain the MotoGP crown, which it lost to Francesco Bagnaia and Ducati at the final round of last year.

“From January 💧this year we renewed the multi-year agreement with Monster,” Jarvis 🎐said.

“I always felt our previous bike💛 was the most beautiful and clean in the racing world, but now you will notice it’s a little bit more aggressive. A litt⛎le bit more young.

"You can see some camouflage feel and this is not by ac🤪cident.
