Fabio Quartararo’s skill and adaptability can make it more🧜 difficult for Yamaha to identify problems, they have admitted.

For two seasons, Yamaha have had just two ra♓ce riders in MotoGP𝔍 to aid their development.

And Quartararo’s brilliance to cope with a below-par machine can sometimes make life toughe🔯r fꦫor his colleagues inside the garage.

“There is a risk when you have talented riders like Fabio, who adapt qu🍌ickly and cover up problems,” technical ⛦director Max Bartolini told .

“We are also trying to get as much information as possible from Alex⛦ Rins whe🤡n he is okay and from other roads.”

Yamaha’s t🍰est team has🐓 been bolstered by Andrea Dovizioso, who stepped in for the injured Cal Crutchlow.

Dovizioso has downplayed 🥀remaining with Yamaha full-time, though.

“Will Dovizioso be the one to help us? I don't know,” Bart♔olini said.

“Because we have on🎃ly done two tests and we have to see how the collaboration will continue.

“He tends to be a rider who is quite capable of understanding general needs and helping to build bikes that have 🐈hist💞orically proven to work well enough for everyone."

The addition of the Pramac satellite team next sea🍰son w𒊎ill give Yamaha two extra bikes to generate data from.

They have recruited experienced grand prix winnerไs in Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira.

Miller (Honda, Ducati, KTM) and Oliveira (KTM,꧃ Apr💙ilia) bring experience from all of Yamaha’s rivals.

“I've always gotten along well with the riders,” Bartol🔯i💙ni said.

“Having heterogeneous riders will certainly help, then it will be up to us to exploit them well with each one's characteri🧔stics.

“If we can put everything togeth🦹e🐎r, we should be able to do well."

Longer-term, Yamaha 𝐆plan to introduce a V4 engine which aligns with what their closest rivals are u𓆏sing.
