Quartara🀅ro enjoyed top speed and used tyre performance during the preseason Sepang test but, much like most oꦰf last season, desired more power.

Yamaha, whose machinery lagged behind 🍎Ducati’s in 2022, have committed to an engine after trialling two in Sepang.

Team director Maio Meregalli said: “We have ൲not been able to evaluate all the components. We are happy, on one hand. On the ot🎉her hand? A bit less so. 

“We had three high aims. The engine,𝄹 the🍌 aerodynamics, and to get back the turning which in the past two years has been missing.

“In each area, we put in a lot of effort.

“We compared the engine and th🍃e aero package but unfortunately we could not test any new chassis, or a different rear. Because ♍time did not allow.

“We had two slightly different engines,🌳 both riders liked one. At least the main topic has been fixed and decided.

“We need to reevaluate a few aero things in Portimao. It is not easy to evaluate 💮everything in one test. It is always better to do it in two different tracks.

“Lu꧅ckily we have parts already prepared in case we want to homologate one or the other.”

Meregalli did not clarify whether Yamaha had opted for Quartararo or his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Morbidelli’s preferred engine - but it is safe to assume they will back the 2021 champion over the rider w෴ho is reportedly battling 🅠to keep his seat.

So Quartararo will be hoping that Yamaha’s conclusive choice to pursue one engine option will pay dividends, so he is no longer lagging behind the likes of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Francesco Bagnaia when the season begins.
