Yamaha has “made a massive improvement” with its 2023 MotoGP bike and closed its top-speed deficit to Ducati, reckons Fabio Quartararo ⬇️
A lack of engine power dogged Quartararo's title defence in 2022, with Yamaha forced to abandon its new engine prior to testing last year due to reliability issues and run a specification closer to the 2021 version.
The 2021 world champion admits now that Yamaha's bike improvement has been"much more than I thought" and believes the Japanese brand is now much closer to Ducati than it was last season."That's something to say. Even when we started the first test, we knew the engine was going to be the same as the previous year.
"From 2020 to 2022, the improvement was [small], and I think from 2022 to 2023 the improvement is much more than what I thought.
