Aside from Race 1 at Catalunya where Razgatlioglu was in contention to win in treacherous conditions, wet-weather races have of൲ten seen others come t💦o the fore and the Yamaha rider instead drop back.

Razgatlioglu made further steps in that regard during 2022, as was seen when he remained in contention for victory 🥃in Race 1 of the season-finale at Phillip Island, however, consistency to his performance in the wet has not always been there.

Yamaha were expected to try several new parts during last week’s three-day test at Jerez, and wh💧ile those plans were hampered by the conditions, it meant Razgatlioglu had the chance to build upon the recent improvements made. 

"It was a bit too much rain in Jerez, it would have been good to have had some dry time, but it was still fun for me," said Razgatlioglu after taking part on two of the three days.&✨nbsp;

"In the last part of this season, we have made some progress in the rain, and we could se🅰e that during this test in Jerez, where I felt much more comfortable in the🌼 wet. 

"We have improved💮, which is a goo🙈d way to close the season, so I am very happy about that."

The main area of improvement that Yamaha were aiming to make during the Jerez test centred around increased rear grip and acceleration, two areas where 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alvaro Bautista and Ducati were very st💜rong throughout 2022. 

Paul Denning♈, Team Principal at Pata Yamaha said to : "There was quite🦋 a lot of material and developments that Yamaha needed to be shaken down and ideally decisions made on for the 2023 season. 

"Even if💖 the wet conditions didn’t allow us to evaluate these fully, we still got some very valuable kilometres and found out some i𓂃nteresting directions both in hardware, with the main target looking for increased rear grip acceleration and with the electronic settings and evolution of the software platform."

Denning also highlighted the improvements made bꦗy Razgatlioglu in the wet, after the Turkish star finished fastest.

"One very positive point was to coജnfirm Toprak’s development of speed in the wet conditions," said Denning. "It was his weak point in the past, but he’s improved a lot over the course of the last two years and the test, on day one, re-confirmed that position again. 

"He co🌳mpleted a lot of laps and every single lap had a very good pace and was considerably faster than the other riders attending the test. 

"This was a positive to take away from it and, for Locatelli, who’s running on the final day of theꦐ test whereas Toprak went back home after a day and a half’s running. 

"Loka’s taken some good steps on the final day particularly working in the wet conditions with some electronic s༒trategy developments and, again, re-confirming the direction in terms of searching for rear 𒈔grip with the hardware development."
