Regarding the 2025 motorcycle, Quarterly is cautious. Even if the tests ofAragon have made some improvements, the feeling on the track remains mixed: " we will have a new engine here, at Mugello, and an aero evolution after Assen. On the track I didn't feel any big differences, but the results in the wind tunnel are positive.. » On the project V4, he mentions: “ They're moving forward step by step. Every day, a step forward is taken. This is normal when you build a new engine and do few tests. I think things are going pretty well, but we still need a lot of time.
