But Yamaha are also improving their current inline-4, te🎃am bo🎃ss Massimo Meregalli confirmed.

“The tes༺ting team is busy developing both,” he said. “The current bike [Inline-4] and the new bike [V4 engine]. With the new bike we have done only a functionality test.

“We are not ♓in the moment to evaluate the performance. The factory guys will test this bike only when we believe the performance is good enough to feel it, to understand it.”

Yamaha’s test 💮in🐓 Barcelona was in addition to the official MotoGP Aragon test on Monday.

Concessions rules allow Yamaha and Honda extra days of testing to fast-t🎐rack their improvement.

“It’s always important to test,” Meregalli said. “You don’t have enough time for testing anyw꧒here, anytime.

If you see the final race results - we cannot say i🎶t has bꦇeen positive.”

Meregalli spotted a difference between🐎 Yamaha’s efforts at the Aragon MotoGP this year compared to 2024.

“But if we compare it to last year? We finished with a gap of 39s, ⛎but [this year] was♐ 19s,” he said.

“The fastest lap last year was 1.3s, [this year] was less than four teꦦnths. This is where we are monitoring the improvement of the bike.&nb♏sp;Fabio did a really good lap time. I liked how, on Friday we struggled, but on Saturday we got into Q2 to start the race from the third row.

“We had some updates in the engine, just little u♏pdates. We always explore set-ups that we cannot do during the race weekend. The plan was longer than the time we had!

“Our way to work is: if they feel no negatives, then it’s the path we work with. It’s a maꦦtter of fine-tuning.”
