It is undeniable that Yamaha still has a long way to go to return to good results. Changes are happening and are visible, but the process is slow and requires a lot of work.
Álex Rins explained after the Jerez test that there is a particular area in which the riders of the Iwata manufacturer seem to have more difficulties compared to their opponents:
– At this moment, if we compare with the other bikes, it seems that we are struggling to reach the maximum angle, so it seems that for example in fast corners they are able to lean the bike earlier than us, they have the confidence to reach the maximum angle earlier, and we don’t have this feeling.
The Spanish rider stated that progress is being made, but there is still a long way to go to reach the desired level: ‘We are trying to help a bit in this aspect with aerodynamics. I think we took a small step. We still lack a bit of cornering, a bit of traction, so we are still far away. This is the reality. That’s why we need to work more‘.
