Yamaha suffered a poor start on the MotoGP campaign in Thailand and the slowest bike today.

Fabio Quartararo was surprisingly slow all weekend, as riders were fighting hot temperatures in the Buriram circuit.

Alex Rins’ teammate was simply worse and ended in the 17th, the second slower of full -time runners who did not face any incidents.

The most frustrating for Yamaha, is that pre-seepang tests showed that they could have the second fastest bike this year.

Quartararo was in disbelief in the Yamaha test after completing the top three and the three days running in Malaysia before leaving Buriram again.

There was a reason for their rejection, with Quartararo blaming a “big problem” in Buriram after struggling to maintain his front tires for his lungs as his opponents.

Alex Rins may need another business after competing at Thailand’s Grand Prix

After a huge duration of an accident in 2023 Italian weekend Grand Prix, it went for more than a year for Rins to recover after removing metals from his right ankle.

This forced him to sit by the majority of his final MotoGP season with Honda, returning only for the season-closer in Valencia.

After a hard start with Yamaha, he signed a two -year performance last summer to see him tied to the team by 2026.

Giovanni Zamagni warned that the Spaniard could demand further surgery after attending his games in Thailand.

“Rins, unfortunately, constantly I think of course he is not right,” he said.

“I heard that he may have to undergo another business and let’s remember this injured foot in Mugello in 2023. In short, he is of course in poor condition. He is very regulated physicist.

Was the Thai Grand Prix an exception and not the rule for Yamaha?

Althegh Yamaha was slower than expected to be in Buriram, Jack Miller showed that their bike has some pace for Pramac with a challenge for the top 10.

Quartararo says the riders were at the “limit” in Thailand because of the heat and that they were not helped by the situation. It may be that their cooling is less effective than their opponents.

Argentina’s upcoming Grand Prix is ​​expected to be slightly lower, with temperatures nearly 10 degrees Celsius cooler than it was in buriram.

It will still be a challenge for riders who think, with the first event on a piece they haven’t tried on the set to throw some curves. Yamaha will hope that things will go on their way.
