Fabio Quartararo says Yamaha’s MotoGP test team “is a little bit of a mess”, which has made the partnership with Pramac for 2025 m♉o🌳re important.

Ahead of this weekend’s Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Yamaha announced it had signed Jack Miller♋ to a one-year deal to join Pramac alongside Miguel Olivei𒀰ra.

For the first time since 2022, Yamaha will have a satellite partne🐻r and one with full factory support to help boost development of the M1.

Its test team is also 🦩set to sign outgoing Tech3 GASGAS ri𓆉der Augusto Fernandez, while 15-time MotoGP race winner Andrea Dovizioso has been linked with a role after recent outings on the bike.

With Cal Crutchlow battling 🔥through injury setbacks this year and Yamaha not having a satellite team, much of the testing work has had to be done by Quartararo and Alex Rins.

But Quartararo now believes Yamaha is🧔 moving in a direction that will see “the bik🐎e improve quite a lot”.

“The project from the beginning of the year was to get a factory satellite 🔥team, and to get the test team to improve,” he began.

“Th🐬e test team is a little bit of a mess, so it’s difficult really to test, to approve things.

“So, Alex and I🃏 also h💫ave to test during the race weekend and the private tests.

“So, it was difficult. At the moment, Dovi makes a few tests♎. His comments are really good.

“Augusto, it’s not confirmed yet, but looks like he is on a good way. Plus, Jack and Miguel on the factory bikes wil🃏l help a lot to develop the bike.

“So, I think there are many positives coming to Yamaha and Iꦇ think the bike will improve ꧅quite a lot.”

Quartararo enjoyed a strong San Marino GP weekend last t♚ime out,🌠 finishing seventh having made it directly into Q2.

Following a “positive” day of testing 🅰on the Monday after the race, the Frenchman feels the M1 is ♔moving in the right direction.

“The test was quite positive,” he added.

“W🦋e have been working a lot in a different way, especially on the chassis, which looks like the way it’s going to improve a little bi🍬t.

“But hopefully this 🍸weekend… when you are straight into the Q2 directly from Friday it changes your weekend completely, so hopefully we can fight to be in the top 10 directly from Friday.”
