Yamaha: “Green” Friday “most difficult day” at Argentina MotoGP
Yamaha predicts slippery opeꦕning day at A🍨rgentina MotoGP but "expect to get better as the track improves and score decent results."

Fifth and last of the MotoGP constructors during the opening round of the 2025 season in Thailand, all eyes will be on grip levels as Yamaha aims to make amends in Argentina this weekend.
While the baking Buriram circuit waꦗs scrubbed clean by two days of testing before the race weekend🍷, there haven’t been any MotoGP laps at the traditionally dusty Termas de Rio Hondo circuit since 2023.
Yamaha won at the track with Valentino Rossi in 2015 and celebrated a one-two in 2🔥017 with the Italian and race winner Maverick Vinales.
M1s were again on the podium courtesy of Tech3’s Johann Zarco in 2018 and Rossi in 2019, while the post-Covid 2022 and 2023 events saw the top Yamaha finish eighth (168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo) and fourth (Franco Morbidelli) respectively.
"It's nice to be back at t🐭he Termas track, where we have so many nice memories,” said Monster Yamaha team director Massimo Meregalli.
“There are many spectators and motorcycle enthusiasts in Argentina, so w💯e are motivated to give them a good show this weekend.
“We think Friday will be the most difficult day of this 🌠GP round as the track conditions will still be very 'green'. This has also been the case at this circuit in📖 the past.
“But, generally speaking, this track is ꦑokay for us, so we expect to get better as the track conditions improve and to score decent results."
2021 world champion Quartararo was dislodged from his usual top Yamaha positionꦕ for most of the Buriram weekend by Pramac’s Jack Miller.
The Frenchman could again face stiff opposition from the Australian, renowned for his speed in slipp🥂ery track conditions, at Termas.
"The Thai GP was quite extreme in terms of temperature, especially on the race day. But we learned from the situation, and now we focus♊ on the Argentina GP,” said Quartararo.
“We haജven't been at the Termas track 🌼in a while, so I'm sure the fans there are very happy that we're back again.
“In the past, this hasn't been an easy 🥀track for me, but, as always, we will give it our all to do a good job."
Team-mate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alex Rins has two previous Termas podiums to his credit f🐈rom his Suzuᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚki days, including a first premier-class rostrum in 2018.
"Yamaha have gone over all the Thai GP data of the first round, and now we go to Argentina,” said Rins, who was left a disappointed 17th in both Buriram🐈 races.
“On Friday we will need to focus on managing the grip♏ because it will be low, but this will improve throughout the weekend and then let's see where we stand.
“For sure, we never stop pushi🧔ng, also off track. We are very motivated to keep working and doing whatever it takes to improve."
Opening practice at Termas de Rio Hondo 🔜starts on Fridayꦐ.
