Yamaha is set to get better and this season, with concessions, is already working to get closer to the main rivals. The Team Director addressed, even before the last private tests at Mugello, the work the manufacturer was about to get into.
Massimo Meregalli was looking ahead on what is to come, with this next weeks to be of high importance for the team, with tests and more GPs to come afterwards: ‘As a team, we now need to look ahead to what’s to come’, he began to say, with the tests in Italy then about to get underway.
After having Álex Rins and Fabio Quartararo riding for two days and Cal Crutchlow for one but there is more to come, Meregalli added: ‘We have the Monster Energy-sponsored Catalan GP, followed by the Italian GP, our team’s home race. All these events are important to us, so we’re going to knuckle down in the next weeks’.
In this week’s tests at the italian circuit the fastest was Álex Rins, the only for ride inside the 45s, with Fabio Quartararo to come second. Cal Crutchlow only tested for one day and in there the manufacturer put part of their in testing a new aerodynamic package.
