The Spanish MotoGP this weekend arrives♒ either side of test days that are fundamental to Yamaha’s progression.

The Japanese manufacturer is still🙈 struggling on-track but big plans are in place to restore them to the front of the sport.

Monday, the day after the race at Jerez, is an official test but Yamaha had a jump-start on their rivals thanks to n𒊎ew concessions rules which permit them additionalꦫ days of development.

"Though we have been working hard, we now enter one of the busiest periods of this season for Yamaha and our team,” said team director Massimo Meregalli🧸.

“The Yamaha Factory Racing MotoGP Test Team was in Bar☂celona for a Private Test with Cal🥃 Crutchlow last week.

“This week, we have the Spanish GP, immediately followed by the one-day Offici🌺al IRTA Jerez Test.

“These are all very important to our team, as our focus is bike develop🅷ment.

“We 🌜have updates due in the not-too-distant future, and the data we're gathering over the space of these few weeks will be highly valuable."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo sℱaid: "We tried many things in Austin, and that wa💃s great because it gave us more clarity.

“Ca⭕l 𝓀tested in Barcelona last week, and we also have a one-day test here in Jerez following the race.

“So, this is🌞 a busy period for us, and we hope to get a lot of work done, because our main target now is bike development."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins added: "I'm looking forward to racing in front of the Jerez crowds again✃ because they crea𓄧te a really nice atmosphere.

“Last time out in Austin, we decided to try some new things during Warm Up and the Race, but it didn't work. Now we know. We have taken a good look at the Round-3 data and learned from it, and now we can work in a different dire🍰ction.

“We also have an extra d🐠ay of testing on Monday that will also help with this."

Ya♉maha will lose team boss Lin Jarvis, after a 26-year reign, at the end of this season.

But he is putting the building blocks in place✤ for a b🌳right future for the former powerhouse.

The investment to keep star rider Quartarar♏o reportedly makes 𓆏him the highest-paid rider in MotoGP.

Max Bartolini, the former Ducati engineer, is a🧔lready busily working away in a senior role with Yamaha to improve their bike.

The manufacturer is also 🔯in talks to add🔯 a satellite team to its ranks for 2025.

But even with the addition of the concessions rule, it is unlikely that noticeable improvements will ✅be spotted anytime soon.

Quartararo’s best result was P7 at the P𒊎ortuguese MotoGP, while Rins peaked with P13 at the sam๊e race.
