Secrets about Yamaha M1 spilled after Fabio Quartararo tore through Le Mans
Technical aspects of ꦚYamaha's MotoGP bi♛ke pointed out

The improvements to Yamaha’s YZR-M1 have been spotted after 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fabio Quartararo’s scintillating display at Le Mans.
The factory Yamaha 😼rider claimed pole position at last weekend’s French MotoGP, a huge milestone for the project which has struggled for o𒈔ver two years.
Quartaraꦰro finished fourth in the sprint then briefly led a chaotic grand prix, before crashing out in wet condit🎀ions.
Nevertheless, the vast improvement of Yamaha’s MotoGP bike has not gone unnoticed.
A V4 engine is being carefully developed in the background, but Yamaha brought a new inline-four engine ♌to Le Mans after testing it in Jerez. All four riders were equipped with the new engine.
New quirks to Yamaha MotoGP bike analysed

Mi𒉰chael Laverty analysed the M1 for TNT Sports, saying: “They improved torque, acceleration off the turn, and top spee💝d.
“Usually, that combination makes the bike hard🍨er to ride. But all of the 𝐆riders are happy. No negatives.
“It still has thꦰat sweet delivery that a Yamaha is synonymous for. It’s working.
“I spoke to Max Bartolini. He said♏ they have worked to give it m🐈echanical grip with the engine.
“They’ve also 🧜worked on the aero package a lot this year. It looks similar to 2024 but every area has been breathed upon.
“He said they are a little limited because of the width of the inline across 💃the frame engine.
“They need to increase downfor𒀰ce but it’s a constant evolution.
“They have changed the frame a number of♛ times already this year. It’s so thin. Maximum 10ml thickness, even around the swing and arm pivot, where usually you beef up for strengt🌠h to avoid the twist on acceleration.
“They want thꦿi🉐s flex to allow the bike to turn at maximum lean angle when the suspension doesn’t do a lot.
“They have switched back to aluminium. ♑They have tried and tested various carbon iterations of the swingarm. But old school works - it gives feel and performance.
“Interestingly, they have ditched the rear hugger. Without the hugger, it allows the wheel to go up into the rea🍃r tank, when the lowering device is deployed.
“Instead, they’ve got a cool-looking sensor. There are five infra-red sensors on this rear tyre to ♛monitor🃏 the surface temperature.
“Stopping with this Michelin rear is still key. It’s 𒁃something Yamaha are working to ꦇfix - they haven’t got it yet.
“Max was saying they’re constantly working to develop. But every time they change, they find an improvement in one area, but a negative in anotherꦓ.”
Quartararo, as with every 🉐rider, has individ🧔ual quirks that enable him to go faster.
“A personal preferꦛence for Fabio - a tan♌k pod,” Laverty spotted.
“It keeps his bum further back on the seat, in the braking area, which puts loaওd into the tyre.
“His ri꧂ding style? He’s quite long, in terms of his torso, and he has a flat back, so he naturally gets load on the rear tyre. That helps with stopping.”
There is a long way to go for Yamaha, but a major step forward 🤪in competitiveness has been taken.
