Yamaha’s MotoGP V4 will be raced in a ღwildcard entry this year if the Japanese factory achieves its targets with tജhe new engine project, according to Yamaha Motor Racing Managing Director Paolo Pavesio.

The Iwata-based marque conducted its first test with its V4 engine at a recent test at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo in Valencia where it was ridden by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Augusto Fernandez, who said ahead of this weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix that 168澳洲5ꦿ最新开奖结果:the engine will be back on-track ✤in a test in May.

The Spanish rider, who joined Yamaha as a test rider over the winter and who has been filling in for the injured 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Miguel Oliveira at the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Pramac Yamaha team since the Grand Prix of the Americas, could also be wildcarding on theꦰ V4 later this year is Yamaha meets ♓its targets for the new engine.

“The target is to make the [V4] bike as good as possible and, as soon as the bike [is] ready, to challenge ourseꦐlves in a wildcard,” said Paolo Pavesio, speaking to MotoGP.com during the MotoGP Practice session on Friday afternoon at the Spanish Grand Prix.

🐎“So, this was already the plan in the beg📖inning of the year, we are following the process.

“It’s always a complicated process because we are deveಞloping a full-new bike with a configuration which is not common to us, at least, but here we ar๊e; we keep working on the two parallel projects.

“On Monday we will test new things on the M1, we are still committed to being as competitiv♏e as possible this season, but we have an eye to the future, also.”

When asked by MotoGP.com pitlane reporter J♑ack Appleyard if the engine could appear at a race this year in a wildcard, Pavesio confirmed that it is Yamaha’s objective.

“This I can say is our target,” he said.

“If we will be able to achieve the target we will see, but we want to be ready for a wildcard, so we want to be ready with Augusto [Fernandez] being on-track really benchmarkin✤g our V4 because if the new bike will be good enough and faster th♔an the current bike there is the possibility to race with it next year.”

On Thursday, ahead of the Spanish Grand Prix, 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Monster Energy Yamaha rider 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fabio Quartararo said that the V4 is the direction ꦦhe would like Yamaha to go in for🌃 the 2026 season.

Pavesio neither 🔯confirmed nor denied that this wouldꦡ be the case, but he reaffirmed that the V4 will become Yamaha’s MotoGP engine only when it’s more competitive than the current inline-four package.

“I don’t know yet,” he said. “Of course, we are 💦doing this for a pꦕurpose.

“First of all, we are lea🅠rning this new configuration for the future. But as soon as the bike will be competitive we have all the interest to put it on-track.

“If this internal competition will go in favour of the V4, the factory riders will race with it next year, but only if [the V4 out-performs the inline-four] – as I think a♚l🅘so Max Bartolini explained.

“This is a very complicated, exciting, and challenging project to run in parallel within the same manufacturer because [...] we are racing a season wit༒h 22 races; this is only race number five, so we have a lot of expectations and the capability t🦋o grow this season and all we will do this season is based on the current M1. But still, in parallel, there is a second project.”
