RiderTua.com – In the Qatar MotoGP race, Fabio Quartararo ‘only’ finished outside the top ten in the P-12 sprint and P-11 main race. This result certainly does not match the expectations of Quartararo and the Yamaha team. Even so, everyone in the Yamaha garage was not satisfied with the performance seen in Qatar.
Quartararo’s current goals are different from a few years ago. He not only strives to win, but also works with the goal of moving forward and collecting as much data as possible. Quartararo and the Yamaha team are working hard to develop the bikes and improve their performance.
Fabio Quartararo Understands the Situation
Yamaha team manager, Massimo Meregalli, explained that Quartararo worked well and tried to remain calm in facing this challenge. Quartararo understands that this is part of his career journey and he accepts the situation with a positive attitude. Meregalli also stated that the Yamaha team really supports Quartararo on his journey.
The Yamaha team is not satisfied with the results obtained in Qatar, but they remain optimistic and committed to continuing to work hard. Meregalli said that Quartararo had collected valuable data during the race and test in Qatar. This data will be an important basis for bike development and team strategy in the future.
Despite the unsatisfactory results in Qatar, Quartararo and the Yamaha team did not give up. They remain focused and try to improve their performance in the next races. Quartararo is a young rider who has great potential, and the Yamaha team is confident that he will continue to develop and achieve even better results in the future.
Is the VR46 Team getting further away from Yamaha?
The VR46 team owned by Valentino Rossi has become a hot topic of conversation in the MotoGP world. However, recently there has been news that the relationship between the VR46 team and Yamaha is becoming increasingly questionable. One of the factors causing this is Yamaha’s performance which has not improved.
Yamaha’s performance has not improved. This manufacturer with the tuning fork logo has faced challenges in the last few seasons. The performance of the Yamaha bike was not as strong as expected, and this had an impact on the VR46 team’s desire to use Yamaha bikes in the future if they joined as a satellite team…
This makes Yamaha have to try hard to take advantage of the new concessions in MotoGP. One of the advantages of the new concessions is the opportunity to carry out more tests throughout the season. In addition, Yamaha can also use official riders on such occasions.
Disadvantages of Satellite Teams
One of Yamaha’s shortcomings is that it does not have a satellite team. The presence of satellite teams is very important in helping bike development and giving young riders the opportunity to compete in the main MotoGP class.
To overcome this deficiency, Yamaha hopes to convince the VR46 team to leave Ducati and join Yamaha in 2025. However, the current situation is not easy because the M1 bike used by Yamaha is not competitive.
However, nothing can be certain in the world of MotoGP. All possibilities are still open, including the possibility of the VR46 team joining Yamaha in the future. It all depends on the development of Yamaha’s performance and the agreement that can be reached between the two parties.
