And three! After Honda on January 23 in Madrid, after Ducati on January 18 in Neuchâtel, Yamaha announces the date of its official presentation. It will be February 4, in Jakarta, Indonesia. A ceremony which will therefore precede the Sepang tests which will mark the start of the school year. We will then see according to the smile worn by the pilots Valentino Rossi and Maverick Vinales if we worked well in the Iwata workshops this winter…
Two days before going to grind the track in Malaysia, the Yamaha troops will present themselves in Indonesia. For the last two years, this type of event has taken place in Madrid. This time it will be in Jakarta. The 2019 season promises to be one of many challenges for a Yamaha factory which must get back up to speed. Abandoned by Honda and Ducati, she sees Suzuki cutting corners for her.
We will have to come to terms with the behavior of the rear tire and have a more docile engine while being in better shape. On the driver side, the Doctor is still thinking about a tenth title and Vinales wants to get back to the top of the table. Ambition, a vengeful spirit and a touch of uncertainty... The atmosphere will be hot at Yamaha!
