Yamaha is going through a tough time in terms of its competitiveness, but in the Thai GP and especially in the long race, it had a “pretty positive” performance, according to Fabio Quartararo, even after the crash suffered by the rider. The electronics part, however, deserved a less positive comment.
The Frenchman recalled some of the difficulties felt during the morning and the electronics also seem to have left the best impression once again with the Frenchman, as he said quoted by Motosan: ‘We had difficulties from the morning to warm up the rear tire, especially on the left side. And the electronics were quite difficult to understand’.
And he explained: ‘On the straight the bike didn’t push and in some corners it was good, in others not, and that’s what I don’t understand about the bike’.
Still, the former world champion understands, the good thing to take from the race was the pace that the M1 showed even after the crash and with some damage: ‘I think after the accident, even without the wing, with the handlebars twisted, without the rear brake, and with the footrest broken in half, the pace was pretty good. So that’s pretty positive’.
