Fabio Quartararo explains cause of “strange day” at Buriram MotoGP test
“It’s one of the firs♛t times of my career that I didn’t like any tyres on the front…”

After a promising showing at last week’s Sepang test, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo began this week’s Buriram MotoGP test with a day he ♓described as “strange”.
The unusualness of the day was derived from the feeling Quartararo had on the front end of his Yamah꧟a, something he put down to the tyres.
“Today was a really strange day for us,” the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP ride✃r said following the opening day of the Buriram test,🀅 “especially because it’s one of the first times of my career that I didn’t like any tyres on the front.
“So, I was struggling a lot today to ride and 🐷to be fastಌ.
“So, let’s see🗹 tomorrow if the track 🏅improves and I can really ride like I want; because today we tried many things but also I was not riding well.
“So, hopefu🅰lly tomorrow we can find a tyre or a setting with this tyre that can adap🦹t to us.”
The French rider added that he and Yamaha had not identified what was causing his lack of front end confidence, but r📖einforced his belief that it’s about the tyres rather than the YZR-M1.
“Alw꧒ays when there is two tyres, it happens that you don’t like one and you like the othe🌜r,” he said.
“But to not like both𒀰 of them it’s the first time that it happens to me. I don’t know why, hopefully tomorrow it will change.”

His uncomfortability oওn the front had led t🎐o an appearance of greater braking stability, Quartararo explained.
“The bike is a little bit more stable, but especially because I’m not able to brake super-h🗹ard with the fro🌠nt,” he said.
“So, of ✅course 🐈the bike is more stable; last year I could put the bike much more on the limit, so I think tomorrow the bike will shake again because I will try to push the limit [in case] the same thing happens with the tyres on the race.
“So, tomorrow morning we will really try to p𒆙ut the bike under pressure𒈔”
Quartararo was at least able to conꦿfirm that Yamaha has made♊ progress in a straight line after riding behind Gresini Ducati’s Alex Marquez.
“I spent one lap behind Alex Marque🌄z, but it’s difficult to see if he has an 18-lap-old tyre and you have a five-lap-old tyre, so it’s really difficult to compare, but I think on the straight we improve quite a lot,” he said.
Finally, the 2021 World Champion said that Yamaha’s aerodynamic and engine package is now “quite fixed,” and that the maꦜjority of his day was spent trying new electronics strategies.
For Thursday, the final day of testing of the 2025 MotoGP preseason, Quartararo’s focus was on launch modes, as he felt there was room to improve after 𝕴the practice start session between the morning and afte🔯rnoon running on Wednesday.
“Tomorrow we will try to make a bit more different strategies on the electr𝓡onics for the start and hopefully we can improve a bit,” he said.
“Today I ꦏthink we made some different things that could have worked but at least for u꧒s it doesn’t work.”

Alex joined t꧂he team in August of 2024 having covered consumer and racing motorcycl𒈔e news at Visordown for two years.
