The problems encountered by fabio quartararo during this 2023 MotoGP season are now well known: If the Yamaha YZR-M1 has gained in power, it has become more aggressive and has lost, compared to eternally progressing competition, what was traditionally its strong point and its advantage : Its speed of passage in curves.
Today, roughly speaking, the official Yamaha team has decided to use the 2022 chassis with the 2023 engine and 2021 settings to form the basis that will be used throughout the season.
It is now a question of making progress on this basis, and this is precisely what, according to GPone, is doing Cal Crutchlow today and tomorrow on the Mugello circuit, before the next Grand Prix which will be held there in a good two weeks.
The British driver has all the confidence of Fabio Quartararo who declared during the last Grand Prix at Le Mans: “A the end, and with Cal, I feel like he's really motivated, we're pushing in the same direction, we're pushing in a way that, you know, we're trying to change the mentality of Japanese engineers a little bit to be more Italian. »
The Yamaha test rider will not be alone on the Italian track since Michele Pirro will also be present to try to advance a Ducati Desmosedici which already tends to monopolize victories, as well as Danilo Petrucci et Nicholas Bulega on the Panigale in WSBK.
