Fabio Quartararo says he could feel a “massive change” after Yamaha’s revamped M1 made its first public appearance at the Jerez MotoGP test on Monday.
In its bid to arrest a steady decline in performance over the last few years, Yamaha had been working behind the scenes on an all-new version of its MotoGP contender, which was finally ready for its first test after Sunday’s Spanish Grand Prix. Both 2021 champion Quartararo and new recruit Alex Rins got to put the new M1 through its paces at the Jerez test, finishing 18th and 14th respectively after clocking 157 laps between them.
This was a little bit better but we are missing a lot.” Yamaha has completely overhauled the M1 after successfully persuading Quartararo to sign a fresh two-year deal, with the changes to the bike covering a wide variety of areas including chassis, aerodynamics and electronics. Only the engine has not been changed so far, with Yamaha electing to continue with its test unit - which is built to the same specification as the race motor.
