The Spanish MotoGP this weekend arrives either side of test days that are fundamentalꦡ to Yamaha’s progression.

The Japanese manufacturer is still struggling on-track but big plans are in 🔥place to restore them to the front of the🔜 sport.

Monday, the day after the race at Jerez, is an official test but Yamaha had a jump-start on their riv༺als thanks to new concessions rules which permit them additional days of development.

"Though we have been working hard, we now enter one of the busiest periods of this seas༒on for Yamaha and our team,” said team director Massimo Meregalli.

“The Yamaha🀅 Factory Racing MotoGP Test Team w⭕as in Barcelona for a Private Test with Cal Crutchlow last week.

“This weꦜek, we have the Spanish GP, immediately followed by the one-day Official IRTA Jerez Test.

𓄧“These are all very important to our team, as our focus is bike development🐲.

“We have updates due in the not-too-distant future, and the data we're gathering over the space of these few weeks will൩ be 🌌highly valuable."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo said: "We tried many things in Austin, 🐲and that was great because it gave us more clarity.

“Cal tested in Barcelona last week, and we alsoꦚ have a one-day test here in Jerez following the race.

“So, this is a busy period for us, 🌱and we hope to get a lot of work done, because our main target now is bike developm💃ent."

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins added: "I'm looking forward to racing in ꧋front of the Jerez crowds again because they create a really nice atmosphere.

“Last time out in Austin, we decided to try some new things during Warm Up and the Race, but it didn't work. 💛Now we know. We have taken a good look at the Round-3 data and learned from it, and now we can work in a different direction.

“We alsoꦚ have an extra day of testing onও Monday that will also help with this."

Yamaha will lose tea🦋m boss Lin Jarvis, after a 26-year reign, at the end of th✃is season.

But he is putti🐟ng the building blocks in place for a bright𒈔 future for the former powerhouse.

The investment to keep star rider Quartararo reportedly makes him the highest-paid rider in 🍬MotoGP.

Max Bartolini, the former Ducati engineer, is already busily wಞorking away in a senior role with Yamaha to improve their bike.

The manufacturer is also in talks to add a satellite team to its ranks🃏 for 20🎐25.

But♕ even with the addition of the concessions rule, it is unlikely that no🎶ticeable improvements will be spotted anytime soon.

Quartararo’s best re🔯sult was P7 at the Portuguese MotoGP, whil꧅e Rins peaked with P13 at the same race.
