Monster Yamaha riders Alౠex Rins and Fabio Quartararo both suffe🙈red arm pump problems in Sunday’s Spanish MotoGP.

The forearm pain was caused by the ‘heavy’ handling of the M1, with its riders struggling to make the bike turn during 25 laps of the Jꦐerez circuit.

After his Sprint heroics on Saturday, when he progressed from 23rd to 3rd only to be demoted by a tyre pressure penalty, Quartararo could only climb as high as 13th in the grand prix. Then f꧒aded to 1ꦉ5th due to the arm pump.

“I didn't manage to get the same start as I had yesterday,” sai🔥d Quartararo. “We had an issue 🍒with rear grip, and then the bike became really physically tiring to ride.

“I had pain in my arm [arm pump] because I was braking too hard, and the last ten laps I was 🎃not able to brake anymore, so I ha🦋d to slow down.

“It was a really tough race, I would say. We are missing a lot on the rear gr🍨ip and turning, so hopefully in tomorrow's test we can change that.

“I don't expect a big, big step, but hopefully we do find💎 an improvement to feel better on the bike and be faster.”

While Quartararo famously suffered arm pump while leading at Jerez in 20💦21, prompting surgery, Rins struggled with the same issue on Sunday and revealed he has experienced some arm pump since his first race on the M1 in Qatar.

Howeಞver, Rins could maintain his pac♔e and inherit 13th from Quartararo.

“Starting from last position was not easy, but we did a better start than yesterday. I recovered some positions, and t💦hen I was behind Fabio for almost alꩲl the race,” Rins said.

“Then I saw he started to struggle [w꧋ith arm pump] just like me, and I was a🐟ble to catch him and overtake him.

“For sure, this is not the result that we w🌳ant, but this race was important for us because we took a lot of information.

“For tomorrow, we have many items to try. So, le💮t's keep going and let's keep working!”

Team director Massimo Meregalli confir🔯med: “Our riders had to start from the back of the grid again today, so the race was always going to be difficult. 

"On top of 🦋that, both Álex and Fabio were struggling with the heaviness of t🌞he bike, because in low-grip conditions they have to ride the bike more physically.

“At this track you have to use the throttle ꧅and the brakes a lot without any rest, so this made this race even more demanding for them. It was a big fight for them to manage the last third of the race distance.

“There 𝄹is clearly still a lot of work to do for us, so it's great that we have a test day tomorrow and a whole race weekend's worth of data that we can put to good use.

“We have many new items to try, but we have to prioritise the components that are the mos⛄t vital, which are aerodynamics, an updated chassis, and some electronics setting𓃲s.”
