Fabio Quartararo: “We need something to make a step forward”
Braking remains Yamaha’s only strengtౠh, says ꦑFabio Quartararo.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo returns to Jerez for this weekend's Spanish MotoGP fearing they’ve reached the limit of the current Yamaha package.
The💧 2021 world champion currently sits eighth in the standings and, although he took a season-best seventh last time in Qatar, it was a f🌺rustrating experience.
The Frenchman continues to battle a lack of grip and acceleration, two longstanding weaknesses of the Yamaha M1, which he says areﷺ stil💟l limiting his ability to fight.
“Not really fun,” Quartararo said oౠf his Qatar GP. “The first laps, we✱ have more or less the same problem as usual - where the grip is low - then it’s coming a little bit better, but it’s already too late.
"Let's see in the next races. But wꦆe need to have new items to really have more grip. And we depend a lot on the track.
“We need something to make a step forward,” he admitted. “We work a lot, we have a lot of new items, but we never find really what we want. This is super important - that we find the spot where we have to im⭕prove.
"I want to fight with them as soon as possible, but I know it will take time to be with them, but at leas💟t to fight a little bit more will be g🌠reat.”
Upon leaving Qatar, Quartararo castও doub༺t on any major breakthroughs arriving in time for Jerez.
“Looks like no,” he said when asked if Jerez would bring new upgrades. “Looks like more after Le Mans. We have a test in Italy straight after the race, and let’s see if we can find so𝔍mething.”
However, hope remains for Jerez - shou🌃ld Yamaha’s test team of Cal Crutchlow and Augusto Fernandez have made progress during a private two-day outing at Valencia following Qatar.
Otherwise, the M1 has made a step in qualifying - illustrated by a🔯 shock front row in Qatar - and remains strong on the brakes, but Quartararo said he is unable to use that strength to mount overtakes due to traction and power ♈issues.
“The only strong point we have is really the braking point, in the straight braking,” he explained. “But if you are not able to rea💙lly prepare to overtake, it makes no sense.”
Despite the difficulties, Quartararo, who turned 26 last weekend, rem🌞ain⛄s committed to giving his all at a circuit that’s brought him success in the past.
The Frenchman claimed his first two MotoGP victori🦋es at Jerez in 2020ꦕ and finished runner-up in 2022.
Last year, Qu﷽artararo thought he'd snatched a surprise podium in a chaotic Sprint race - only to be denied by a post-race tyre pressure penalty.
“I celebrated my birthday last Sunday, and I want to thank evꦯeryone for their birthday wishes,” he sಌaid.
“I feel ready to go back to work now. I really like Jerez. We also have a one-day test he🍒re after this GP.
“Let's see what we can do during this race weekend and the test. We will, for sure, gi🌄ve it our 100% aꦑgain.”
Yamaha starts the🔴 opening European round of the season tied with KTM for last in the constructors’ standings, after the Austrian manufacturer lost a Qatar podium due to a tyre penalty for Maverick V🍸inales.
