Fabio Quartararo: We had two new engines at Valencia…
ꦯAssen-spec was not the only new Yamaha engine at the private Valen𓂃cia test.

After a ‘tough’ 12th place in the Dutch MotoGP, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo will 🅠be hoping the new Yamaha engine ma🌺kes a bigger impact at Sachsenring this weekend.
The MotoGP engine list confirmed that Quartararo and team-mate Alex Rins each received one new engine in Assen, then rode with it exclusivelꦐy in every track session from FP1 to the grand prix.
But there had bꦫeen confusion on the eve 𓃲of the event with Quartararo suggesting a promising ‘new’ engine tried at the private Valencia test was not yet available, while Rins insisted they were getting a new engine each.
It turned out they were both right. Quarꦕtararo later revealed there were two new engine specs at Valencia🅘, and he was referring to the second.
“We had two [new options],” he said, confirming that in total they had tried: “The [standard] ’24, this [Assen] one and anothౠer one.”
“We tested another engine in Valencia whe﷽re the agility and turning was much better. And it was still an Inline 4,” he underlined, quashing rumours of a V4.
“Th𒁏is [turning] problem we have is clearly coming from the engine. Of course, we’ll need a bit of time to use this [second type of new] enꦦgine.”
The Assen engine, presumably le🌺ss radical than the second option given how quickly it was introduced, at least helps with eng൲ine braking and turning in slow corners.
But the fast and fl🐷owing Dutch track meant its impact on performanc⛎e was minimal. “I think the positive we got from Valencia, here we cannot really feel,” Quartararo said.
That might also be the c🍨ase at this weekend’s tight-and-twisty Sachsenring circui꧋t.
“In general, I don't think that the Sachsenring is a good track for us, espe꧅cially the second and third sector will be complicated, but we have to take the positives and try to get some data in order to keep improving,” Quartararo said.
“Clearly, we are sti𓃲ll very far,” added the Frenchman, after finishing Sunday’s race 24-seconds behind Ducati’s Francesco Bagnaia.
“It looks like alsꦆo with the new [rear tyre] compound, they [Ducati] could improve a lot, but for us it's no different. So we have to understand why the grip of our bike is still very, very low in every condition⛄.”
Quartararo will have a new team-mate this weekend with Remy Gardner stꦐepping in for the injured Rins.
“I wish Alex a speedy recov♒ery. I hope to see him back at the tracꦏk soon,” said Quartararo.
The 2021 world champion starts the🥃 final event before the MotoGP summer bre🥂ak equal on points with former team-mate Franco Morbidelli for 13th in the world championship.
Quartararo’s 39 points at least make🦹 him a clear leader of the ‘Japanese Cup’ with next best Joan Mir (Repsol Honda) scoring just 13 points.
