168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo believes Yamaha starts the 2025 MotoGP s꧒eason this weekend at the Thai Grand Prix “better than last year”.

Yamaha endured a tough 2024 season as it failed to register a single podium, with its best result a sixth-place finish at the Malaysian Grand Prix at the end of the🎃 campaign for Quartararo.

But over the year, Yamaha did show signs of improvement aꦫs technical leadership from Max Bartolini bore fruit.

That appeared to continue over pre-season testing this year, with ♈strong pace from the Yamaha at Sepang and Buriram leading a number of figures - including Ducati’s Davide Tardozzi - to brand it a potential threat in 2025.

Ahead of t꧋he 2025 Th♓ai GP beginning on Friday, Quartararo was in a confident mood.

Yamaha bullish for 2025 MotoGP season

“[I’m] ready,” Quartararo said on Thursday.

“Testing was nice, it was positive for us. Now it’s time to really race, which is the most fun part and s💯ee a little bit where we are because testing is one thing, but some made the time attack in the morning, some in the afternoon.

“So thꦿe lap time is a little bit different. In Malaysia, everyone did the lap time in the morning, of course, but here was quite different.

“B💧u෴t let’s see. We will evaluate the first five races to see where we are.

“Like I said, testing is♌ different because we made two days only with Michelin r🍒ubber [on track].

“So, let’s see in race mode what we can do. But first of all I think we are better than last year🐲.

“Last year’s test I finish🦋ed 1🏅1th and 14th, this year third and eighth. So, already we start with a better base and then we’ll see how we finish.

“Bཧut I don’t want to set a goal right now because, to be honest, I don’t have any goal.”

Quartararo struggled with a lack of front feeling during the Buriram test, which will be his main focus during Friday practice as it ♍was a problem with tyres he says he never faced last year.

“Let’s see because usually it’s not really related🦹 to ou♏r bike because I never had this issue last year,” he said of working on his front feeling.

“Even when we were struggling I never had this is✤sue ꧙and especially I was not feeling well with the front tyre.

“So, even if it is t൲he same tyres let’s see if the feeling is different during the sessions and during this weekend. But this will be our main focus for this race.”
