Last week, Yamaha held a private test for MotoGP in Mugello. Fabio Quartararo was encouraged with the work the team has done and, part of it, will already be used this weekend at the Catalan GP.
The Frenchman said: ‘It was great, because we could analyze quite well where is the main priority to test and to improve from now until the end of the season. This is great. We don’t know how we are going to improve it, but we know where is it’.
According to Quartararo, the aerodynamics tested in Mugello will already be used in Barcelona: ‘Then we used the new aero package that was better for Cal [Crutchlow], better for me and better for Álex [Rins]. So we will use it during this weekend’.
Regarding the new engine, the 2021 world champion explained: ‘In Jerez race we were using the new engine. You cannot totally change an engine, but we are working also for this year to try to improve it’.
