While race pace was a strength for Yamaha and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo throughout the 2023 MotoGP season, ♈their main problems were to do with extracting peꦉrformance over one lap.

And while the 2024 M1 appears to be a better bike at this early stage of pre-season testing, issues with generating the full poten🐻tial over one lap remain.

༒Quartararo said this about the time attack issues: “We don’t kno☂w. Fast lap, it is where we miss but we don’t know exactly where.

“Exit of the corners is where 🃏our bꦺike is still shaking quite  alot and we have to improve it. We have to work hard and see if we can find something extra tomorrow.”

What is clear is tဣhat Yamaha have made a💦 step forward regarding their top speed.

Quartararo 🐬had one of💝 the better top speeds on day two in Sepang, although he did admit that braking late helps with that.

“I think the speed is also with the braking r🦂eference,” began Quartararo. “I’m not saying the bike is slow, the bike is very fast but the braking reference also makes it a little bit strange on ဣthe top speed.

“But this is super positive to have a fast bike but we still have to improve our fast lap. Our one lap we are missing so much and this is our biggest problem righ🌊t now. 

“Even though we tried many things on the bike today,🌳 at the end, when you put the new tyres; 𓄧I was not lost, but we tried many items. It was a little bit strange but still we are missing a lot.”

11th fastest come the end of play, Quartararo missed out on a practice start due to a technical issue, which is the second day that’s happened after his holeshot device didn’t work🔯 on Tuesday.

The French 💝rider, who says the new bike is lower to the ground, will rely on the data from Alex Rins before attempting a practice start on day-three.

“Yesterday my holeshot device was not working an🐼d today I didn’t make any starts,” said Quartararo. “Alex [Rins] did so the data will be great to see.

“I 🌟had a little issue at the end and could not make the practice start.

“Hopefully we can make better starts. Our bike is a little bit lower than las𒅌t year which is positive.

“We are improving little-by-little but on th♊e time attack still no♓thing and this is where we need to improve.”
