Yamaha feeling bleak: “We had other hard times, even with Valentino Rossi”

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo delivered the 2021 championship and was one round from beco🅘ming a back-to-back champion last year, but since then their fortunes have plummeted.
Quartararo is ninth in 🍷the MotoGP standings, teammate Franco Morbidelli is 11th, with just a single podium finish between them.
"We had other difficult times, like with Vale and Maverick Vinales,” team director Meregalli to🐠ld .
“Now, our rivals, especially♏ the European ones, have taken a really big leap.
“It's strange to see three European factories at the top and two Japanese [manuf♐acturers] have a hard timℱe.
“Surely, we 𒊎have to take a s♏tep to change the method of work. We are working.
“It is aꦿ cliché, but we must unite the method of the Japanese with the way of the Europeans. Because we already have a base in Italy, with European engineers.
“We have to unite them to have an adv𓆏antage. We are doing it.
“I hope that꧋ the results will be seen shortly, although this does not mean shortly this year.”

Yamaha are synonymous with Rossi’s glory years༺ - together, they combined to give the legendary rider fou🌸r of his premier class championships.
But they apo🌸logised to their riders after a 25-race winless run between 2017 and 2018.
This season feels as bleak for Yamaha.
"For sure, it has been a completely different start to the season than we expected,” Me🐲regalli said.
“We did some good winter test𓄧ing, where we were satisfied with all the work that had been ꦗdone in Japan.
“But we have learneꦬd, having no experience with aerodynamics, that It's not enough just to improve downforce and speed, you also need to know how to turn the bike, because with 🧔what happened this winter, we improved downforce, maximum speed, but then the bike doesn't turn.
“When we had to homologate the first aerodynamic package, we had to lose a bit of top speed and go back to 2021 to at le🌜ast have the handling.
“It was disappointing. We had other objectives.
“For m🧸e, it is not necessary to talk about crisis becausꩲe, probably, we have redirected development in the wrong direction and we are paying for that little experience with aerodynamics.

“The others started l♔ong before us and now we are paying for that delay.&♛nbsp;
“We have to do the bestཧ we can with what we have until the next race, we have to be ready, with the team we have, to take advantage of the problems that others have, as happened in Austin.
“When there is a chance, it is not always achieved because our drivers are always forced to push themselves to🙈 the limit and that makes you make mistakes.”
MotoGP lost Suzuki, and now their fellow Ja🅷panese manufacturers Yamaha and Honda are languishing below their European counterparts.
"No, at this moment, t❀here is not the slightest sign that Yamaha d♚ecides to leave,” Meregalli insists.
“We are already talking about the 2🍨027 regulations and we have agreements with Dorna.”
