Keen to end hi🐻s time with Yamaha on a high, Morbidelli said: “Now that it‘s official where I will be riding next year, it has given me the clarity needed to focus on the task ah🔜ead. 

“I can now fully concentrate on what‘s happening on track and ride with 🥂nothing 🃏to lose. 

“At the Misano Test, it was de𓃲cided that I will stick with the same bike configuration as before, and I‘m interested to find out how that will run ꧙at the Buddh circuit. 

“It‘s something new, so that‘s alwaysꦜ interes🌳ting for riders and teams.”

Yamaha’s str🐲uggles hav🅠e been well documented in 2023, and with that has come huge frustration for 2021 world champion Fabio Quartararo.

The French rider has been on the podium just one (COTA) 🐟but is looking forward to the prospect of a new circuit in India.

“Looking at the layout, it seems li🍎ke an iܫnteresting track, so we will see what we can do. 

“We tried a lot of things aওt the Misano Test and there are a few things that we can try here too. We will do our best as൲ always!"
