At the MotoGP Grand Prix of San Marino in Misano, we followed the first sessions MotoGP from the pitlane, with his eye always on the lookout, looking for something new, including in front of the Yamaha box of Fabio Quartararo.
There, nothing really caught our eye, even if Yamaha tends to hide its bikes (a little) less, simply noting that the two YZR-M1 #20 had, under the eyes of the Dallara technicians who designed it, the latest aerodynamic development to appear in Aragon, and that they no longer used the swingarm fins.
At least until the end of the Practice, where a third M1 appeared, covered with a blue tarpaulin suggesting that it was a rolling chassis and its saddle, probably without an engine, fairing or tank cover. Obviously, the object immediately aroused interest, including from Jules Danilo to whom we showed it, suggesting that it was probably one of the bikes for the test next Monday…
The latter also asked the person concerned the question directly the next day on Canal+, obtaining the following response: "This is the test bike for Monday, so they have Fair exchange le engine and put a engine of test. So it is a motorcycle totally standard that tu as seen under the tarpaulin.«
Okay. Even though we noticed that the mechanic had taken great care to stretch the tarpaulin at the level of the swing arm axis, our interest therefore fell flat. The same day, we still couldn't help but ask fabio quartararo if he expected a lot from Monday's test. And his answer went in the same direction...
"No, because that we have nothing to try. We had to try the chassis, but wetried in FP1. So I ne don't know from tall that we va Essayer, but I think that we will have qsome details about the electronics. This is something that we also works during the weekend, but to big thing To try, from what I know anyway.”
Does this mean that we will be neglecting the box of issue 20 on Monday? Certainly not, and if we ever notice the slightest apparent novelty, you will be the first to know, live...
