168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo went into the winter break with a surprise second place on the timesheets at the Barcelona MotoGP test.

The performance provided a welcome boost at the end of Yamaha’s 🎃worst season in the ‘MotoGP’ era.

Yamaha’s M1 failed to take a grand prix podium for the first time since its debut in 2002, with the fact🔯ory’s lead rider 𝄹Quartararo just 13th in the world championship.

So wha🤪t will the Frenchman ask for from Santa this Christmas?

“Power and grip is the only thing I ca😼n really ask at the beginning,” said Quartararo, who had a revised chassiౠs, aero, swingarm and engine to try at the test.

“Because in terms of grip we are really, really 🔯far and I think to go fast, it’s the first thing.

“And the pow💯er, Santa Claus already came early to give us extra, but I will ask for even more because we know that we will miss it!”

Reflectin🌄g on his toughest🍰 premier-class season, after three podiums and tenth place in last year’s championship, Quartararo said:

“Well, of course there is frustration that we didn't manage to get any podiums, any really great🔴 race. But I think it's quite important for us to go home with the feeling of the last four races where we have been improving.”

The closest Quartararo got to the rostrum in the damp Jerez Sprint, whenꦰ a third place was snatched away by a pos♔t-race tyre penalty.

His best grand prix 🌊result was sixth𒁃 place at Sepang.

While the results are not where Quartararo or Yamaha want them to be, the 2021 world cha💯mpion is adamant the project is moving forwards.

Highlighting the huge number of engineers, bot🃏h Japanese and Italian, in the 💛pit box at the test, Quartararo added:

“The way for us to improve the bike, the way to work has been improved during t❀his year.

“I's not easy for Yamaha to change totally the mentality. So it really took a lot of tim💯e. Then the improvement, the new people, the new team - many, many things are new. I think e🐠verybody also saw Augusto Fernandez in the box with us.

“So I think that they are changing a lot. The test team also. And step by step, we🍰 will come back. And of course I want it to happen tomorrow, but it takes time and the project is getting better.”

Does Quartara🍷ro feel clos༒er to the top after the results of the Barcelona test?

🀅“I feel a bit faster. Closer, I don't know. Because during a test day, it's quite difficult to really analyse well. But in terms of position, we are a bit better even if it's just a test.

“But we will see from the last day in Thailand [next year] where is rea𒐪lly our♛ realistic position.”

Quartararo also insisted tha🦄t he’s “enjoying” the M1 again.

“I don't even take it like work,” he💦 sa🅷id. “I'm enjoying the bike. I start to really enjoy the bike because I can push the limits.

“But we have a clear goal to come back [to the top] and whatever we can dಌo to be back as soon as possible, we will do it.”
