Yamaha was one of MotoGP’s biggest surprises, after showing a encouraging pace with their new bike.
2021 Champion Fabio Quartararo in particular looked fast, ending in the first duration of the three days of the first test in Sepang.
Yamaha suffered their worst season in recent history last year, with Quartararo ending the highest bike with the 13th in the Riders league.
They could be in content to compete with KTM and Aprilia on their day in 2025, especially while they have one of the best riders in MotoGP.
Quartararo remained in “distrust” in Yamaha after testing and could not believe the level of rhythm they showed at such an early stage.
He and teammate Alex Rins will hope that they can carry this kind of dynamic until the time when the Thai Grand Prix is opening this week.

Yamaha “is convinced” that the V4 engine is not ready for MotoGP yet
One of the most impressive things for Yamaha’s rise is that they work on two bicycles at the same time.
They are fighting to prepare a new V4 bike for new regulations in 2027 so they can compete with their opponents by Race One.
MotoGP opponents felt “really strong” for Yamaha in Sepang and believe they have made real progress. They do not want to overturn this project by introducing a new chassis that is not yet ready.

CEO Paolo Pavesio said Motorsport.com How they will only introduce the new unit when they are “convinced” are at a good level.
“We have to get results today while we are working for tomorrow. When the V4 engine bike is better than we use now, if it is ever, then we will introduce it.
“It is not unexpected to think of the transition to V4 in 2025. When we give this bike to official riders, we must be convinced that they are on a good level.”
Yamaha is doing something “very crazy” behind the scenes to improve MotoGP wealth
With two years to go until the start of new regulations, Yamaha’s shoulder does not need to suffer for much more before their fate changes.
In the midst of KTM financial struggles, they may be able to overcome their opponents now that they may come up with a greater budget than them.

Yamaha is doing something “very crazy” to improve their fate while developing M1 and V4 bikes.
