Fabio Quartararo’s skill and ♐adaptability can make it more difficult for Yamaha to identify problems, they have admitted.

For two seasons, Yamaha have had ༒just two race riders in MotoGP to a✱id their development.

And Quartararo’s brilliance to cope with a below-par machi🤡ne can sometimes make life tougher for his colleagues inside the garage.

“There is a risk wheౠn you have talented riders like Fa🎶bio, who adapt quickly and cover up problems,” technical director Max Bartolini told .

“We are als🉐o trying 🅠to get as much information as possible from Alex Rins when he is okay and from other roads.”

Yamaha’s test team has been bolstered by Andrea Dovizioso, who stepped in for the injured ꧂Cal Crutchlow.

Dovizioso has downplayed remaining with Yamaha full-time, t෴hough.

“Will Dovizioso be the one to help us? I don't kn♊ow,” Bartolini said.

“Because we have only done 🐽two tests and we have to see how the collaboration will continue.

“He tends to be a rider who is quite capable of understanding general needs and💯 helping to build bikes that have historically proven to work well enough for everyone."

The addition of the P🐲ramac satel🦩lite team next season will give Yamaha two extra bikes to generate data from.

They have recruited experienced grand prix winners in Ja𝓡ck Miller ওand Miguel Oliveira.

Miller (Honda, Ducati, KTM) and O🥃liveira (KTM, Aprilia) bring experience from a𒈔ll of Yamaha’s rivals.

“I've alw🔯ays go꧋tten along well with the riders,” Bartolini said.

“Havi𒊎ng heterogeneous riders will certainly help, then it will be up to us to exploit them well with each one's characteristics.

“If we𝕴 can put everything together, we should be able to do well."

Longer-term, Yamಞaha plan to introduce a V4 engine which aligns with what their closest rivals are using.
