Two days before the end of pre-season, Fabio Quartararo is happy with the progress of the Yamaha YZR-M1, feeling that he has a more effective bike for direct battles on the track. However, he also knows that there is still a long way to go.
After the last day of testing in Sepang, the Frenchman mentioned that there are improvements in the new bike, but there are still gaps in performance in qualifying and it is still not possible to compete for top positions:
– I think it’s slightly better because we have a little more top speed, I think we can keep up with the front bike a little more. So, for fighting, I believe it’s going to be a little better. But we still have to find this qualifying, because I’m a rider who wants to fight for the front positions and at the moment we can’t. But I’m sure we will find our way to be at the top soon.
