Yamaha's improvement throughout the 2024 MotoGP season has continu🅷ed in recent rounds, leaving Massimo Mere🍸galli very pleased with the changes made.

Yamaha's approach has been different in the last co🐽uple of years as they took on a more European-minded mentality.

Ducati, Aprilia and KTM have all su🧜rpassed Yamaha and Honda, and as a result, the Japanese bra🍰nds are now playing catch up.

But Yamaha appear to be on the right 🍷path, with their performances taking a step forward in recent rounds. 

Despite that, Meregalli admitted it's still be a tough start in 2024: "Definitely a tough first part of the season," he told 𒅌MotoGP.com.💜 

"We are exploring as much as we can with the concessions. The concessions are giving us an extra job but I'm really proud of the staff an💧d the riders because no one is complaining. 

"Every time we have been asked to organise tꦺests. Unfortunately we were never supported by the weather because we had a lot of rain. In five planned days we only 🍌explored on one. 

"Luckily the last one went well and we were able to use what we evaluated in Val🐭encia at Assen, one week later. 

"I think the approach we are having is very good. The mentality definit✅ely cha𝄹nged. 

"We are not taking more risks but we are more open-minded and we are trying to sp𝓡eed up bringing updates. We know that we still have a lot of work in front of us."

Fabi🔴o Quartararo has again been Yamaha's best rider throughout this season, however, the margin to team-mate Alex Rins has bee📖n small on several occasions.

Aware of the improvements that still need to be made to catcౠh the likes of Ducati in particular, Maregalli said: "We have different areas where we need to improve. ♏The bike has become heavier for the riders to ride and the electronics need to improve. 

"Also, the chassis, we need to improve. The engine; the engineers are putting a lot of work in and I'm seeing them pushing an🦋d coming up with ideas and solutions. 

"But we are magicians. We are identifying all the areas that we need to improve, but tꦗo do that we need time, more resource."
