Fabio Quartaro It is believed that Yamaha’s Motoogi Squad gave a major step in performance on winter brakes, as was done jointly in the last five sessions.
Quartero has been lapping the fastest riders in the ground since the first official Motogp pre-season test started in Sipang on Wednesday.
While this speed was initially kept near Headstart and Yamaha thanked him for his participation in the three -day shakedown in the sepang test, it became clear quickly that the speed they were showing were real.
The French person was the only rider in the mixture with ducatis, as the test was over on Friday, Third fast and ending only 0.231s Alex marks Lead graceini on bike.
Quartaro’s best lap was a 1m56.724s, which is suited by the effort of 1M57.592s to achieve the eighth qualification for the Malaysian Grand Prix only four months ago.
The 25 -year -old claimed that this improvement during the lap time Yamaha had crossed the profit made since 2019.
“My fastest lap was qualifying last year, which was 57.5, so I think the difference is more than tenth,” he explained.
“From 2019 to 2024, we improved sixth tenth, and from 2024 to 2025, we improved eight tenth.

“Of course, we can be happy. We need to be calm, this is only the test but I think it’s quite good.
“In the Test last year, PECCO (Bagnaiia) created 56.6, it’s less lap time I did this year. I think we can be very happy.”
Quartaro took the position of pole in Seepang in 2019, leading Yamaha 1-2 to qualify with time of 1M58.303s.
Comparing that with the time of its merit of 1M57.592s from last year, Yamaha improved over seven tenth in five years, slightly higher than quarters’ own estimates.
However, it is still less than Yamaha, a leap made in the last four months, verifies the French claim.
Quartaro was also affected by better M1’s long -lasting speed in the test, although he admitted that Factory Riders’ Ducatis Mark marks And Francaco gardenia There is still some way ahead.
“I had to make six laps with a setting and another six laps with new tires with new tires. It was not like the mark that was not like the mark that approximately 56, 57 mid-high, 58, in fact, really, really low ( Lap Times) Made.

“I think you have to consider that last year we were here P11, P12 and now we are looking at the speed of Mark and Packo and Alex, which is the fastest here.
“I think the difference is quite big, but I am very happy about the time I have done, especially it was not just a lap and it is that, (long race speed was also good).”
The race pace was always a strong point of Yamaha, but Quartero used to qualify very far in 2024 to take full advantage of it.
He said, “Last year a lap (pace) was the biggest problem because we always start super fast and it was difficult for us to overtake,” he said.
“Just before I attacked my first time, I knew that I was going to make 1M56s. But last year the problem was that you were putting a new tire and you don’t know what you were going to do.
“But the speed of the race was never really a problem, the problem was starting from P15, it was impossible to overtake. But this is also our engine a bit faster so we will see in the first race how we will manage.”
