Yamaha’s riders opted for different strategies at the San Marino MotoGP as the conditions changed - providing contrasting reꦯsults.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo stayed out on slicks when the rain fell at Misano, but 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins chose to swap his bike.

Pramac’s Jorge Martin was the most notable victim of the backfiring decision to change bikes, because the cꦬonditions quickly dried.

Rins had started fro🌌m 20th but his gamble to swap bikes got him nowhere. He finished 19th due to🌠 Aleix Espargaro’s retirement.

Quartararo smartly finished seventh a๊fter a late overtake of Jack Miller.

“It's been a while since we had a flag-to-flag race,” said Yamaha team boss Massimo Meregal⭕li.

“These are always tricky. The team tries to inform the riders, providing th💞em with as much info✨ as possible and the latest weather predictions, but in the end it's the riders' call if they want to switch bikes or not.

“Fabio made the right decision staying out, and he rode very well. When the rain was a bit heavier, he was catching up with the front group and that allowed him to fight for seventh pla🐭ce.

“Alex was riding in 19th place when the rain started c𒊎oming down harder, so he had little to los๊e.

“These thi🦹ngs can go one of two ways: if it had kept raining, he would have profite൩d from it, but since it suddenly stopped raining, it turned out it was the wrong call. That's racing.

“[On Monday] we will be back at the Misano track for the offꦦicial IRTA test. We're hoping for dry weather so we can collect some good data, both with an eye on the Emilia-Rom♌agna Grand Prix and bike development in general.”

Quartararo said: “It was really hard, especially the first few laps when it was sta♔rting to rain.

“Usually, rain doesn't wor💮k to our advantage, but I could stay quite close to💖 the top guys, so it was good. I enjoyed the race.

“I didn't have the feeling I 𝓡expected, but the position is good. I h𝓡ad the other riders in front of me, so whatever they did, I was following.

“A꧒t one moment, I was really close to going into the pits for a bike swap, but I saw that the majority of them kept going, so ꧙I decided to stay out. Luckily, the track dries superfast here, so I think it was great.”

Rins added: “[The race] was a little bit difficult to manage because I decided to go to the box to change bikes, going to wet tyres. It was already raining for two laps🐼. But as s⛦oon as we went out on track again, the rain stopped.

“So, after two laps of riding with the wet tyres, I 🐠was forced to go back into the pits and go back to the dry bike. After that, I had a better pace than the others, but it was hard to o🦹vertake.

“[Monday] is an imp♌ortant day for the future, because we are g🍸oing to test some new items. Let's see if we can do a good test, so maybe we also have some new items for the Misano #2 race weekend.”
