Yamaha boss Massimo Meregalli says the Japanese bܫrand is “trying to learn from both” of its MotoGP engine projects💮 to improves its results in 2025.

After two difficult years where it fell off the front of the grid, Yamaha has enjoyed an upturn in results in 2025.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo has scored two pole positions fro🧔m the first six rounds and ended Yamaha’s two-year podium drought with a ride to second at thꦰe Spanish Grand Prix.

It comes as Yamaha is concurrently developi💫ng its current bike while also working on its first V4 prototype, which it could race in 2026 ahead of the 2027 850cc regulation change.

Yamaha work on two engine projects

Despite the work being had on its V4, Yamaha brought an updated version of its inline four-cyli🐭nder engine to last weeke🐈nd’s French Grand Prix.

Meregalli says the work Yamaha is do💃ing “is a double job” but hopes both engine programmes can benefit each othe🐽r.

“This new engine specification is just slightly more powerful without any negative points because driveability is much more important than the power,” he told T๊NT Sport at the French GP, after Quartararo qualified on pole.

“And the feeling all the riders had in Jere🍸z was positive.

“We also expected the same from the data. And we were able 🌳to seal this new engine specification for all the ridersಞ.

“It’s another small update🗹, as we keep improving the bike, with the electronics.

“We will have a test in Misano whe🌃re we will evaluate some new components.

“It’s a𒉰 double job because we are developing this current bike but also the other one.

“So, we’re trying to learn form both. It’s an incredible effort th🍸at we are all putting in together.

“It’s rewarding, because now we can start se🔯eing r🌞esults and it’s great.”
