The improvements to Yamaha’s YZR-M1 have been spotted after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo’s scintillating display at Le Mans.

The factory Yamaha rider claimed pole position at last🐎 weekend’s French MotoGP, a huge milܫestone for the project which has struggled for over two years.

Quartararo finished f🎃ourth in the sprint then briefly led a ch🎃aotic grand prix, before crashing out in wet conditions.

Nevertheless, the vast improvement of Yamaha’s MotoGP bike has not gone unnoticed.

A V4 engine is being carefully developed in the background, but Yamaha brought a new in💫line-four engine to Le Mans after testing it in Jerez. All four riders were equipped with the n🌸ew engine.

New quirks to Yamaha MotoGP bike analysed

Michael Laverty analysed the M1 for TNT Sports, saying: “They improved torque, acceleration off the t♏urn, and top speed.

“Usually, that combination ma🧸kes the bike harder to ride. Butꦜ all of the riders are happy. No negatives.

“It stiꦉll has that s🌸weet delivery that a Yamaha is synonymous for. It’s working.

“I spoke to Max Bartolini. He said they have work💟ed to give൩ it mechanical grip with the engine.

“They’ve also worked on the aero package a lot this year. It loo🍸ks si♛milar to 2024 but every area has been breathed upon.

“He said they are a little limited because of the width of the inline across the frame e꧟ngine.

“They need to increase downforce but it’s a co🌃nstant evolution.

“They have changed the frame a number of times already this year. It’s so thin. Maximum 10m𒊎l thickness, even around the swing and arm pivot, where usually you beef up for strength to avoid the twist on acceleration.

“They want this flex to allow the bike to turn at maximum lean angle when the suspension 🎉doesn’t do a𒊎 lot.

“They have switched bac🧸k to aluminium. They have tried and tested various carbon iterations of the swingarm. But old school works - it gives feel and performance.

“Interestingly, they have d꧂itched the rear hugger. Without the hugger, it allows the wheel to g💜o up into the rear tank, when the lowering device is deployed.

“Instead, they’ve got a cool-looking sensor. There are five infra-red sensors 𓆏on this rear tyre to monitor the surface temperatu♍re.

“Stopping wit🌳h this Michelin rear is still key. It’s something Yamaha are working to fix - they haven’t got it yet.

“Max was saying they’re constantlyꦯ working to develop. But every time they change, they find an improve♍ment in one area, but a negative in another.”

Quartararo, as witꦯh every rider, has individual quirks that enable him to go fas꧃ter.

“A personal preference for Fabio - a tank💛 pod,” Laverty spotted.

“It keeps his bum further 🌼back♋ on the seat, in the braking area, which puts load into the tyre.

“His ri𒆙ding style? He’s quite long, in terms of his torso, and he has a flat back, so he naturally gets load on𒁏 the rear tyre. That helps with stopping.”

There is a long way to go for Yama♐ha, but a major step f🅺orward in competitiveness has been taken.
