Fabio Quartararo wrapped up the post-season tests at Barcelona with an optimistic outlook. Following a mixed season in 2024, the Yamaha rider showcased significant improvements by setting the second-fastest time, just 0.396 seconds behind Álex Márquez during the testing session. “It’s just a test, but I forgot!” Quartararo exclaimed, clearly excited to see his name at the top of the timesheet. “Usually, you need to move on, but it’s nice to see my name there. It feels good, even though we are still quite a distance from the leaders,” the Yamaha racer shared. This bodes well for the upcoming season. Quartararo notably enjoyed the advancements made in corner entry, an area where Yamaha has struggled for several seasons. “We’ve made strides with the new chassis in certain respects. The corner entry is the most significant improvement,” Quartararo revealed. However, he acknowledged, “We still need to work on corner exit and lean angle to enhance our performance,” the Frenchman admitted.
Testing with Four Factory Riders
For the first time since 2022, Yamaha brought four factory riders to the testing track: Fabio Quartararo, Franco Morbidelli, along with new recruits Jack Miller and Miguel Oliveira, who were transferred to the satellite Pramac Yamaha team. “It’s fantastic to have four riders and four factory bikes. We have riders from two different manufacturers, and I believe we made progress today,” Quartararo expressed with excitement, as reported by PaddockGP. “I chatted with Jack about his feelings. He hasn’t really had much time on the bike yet, but it’s vital to gather his feedback. This motorcycle has strong points, but also weaknesses that we need to address,” the French pilot added before concluding on a positive note: “I’ll head home in good spirits; we’ve taken some steps forward,” Quartararo stated, visibly delighted and satisfied after what proved to be a fruitful testing day for Yamaha.
Looking Ahead to 2024
The positive outcomes from the Barcelona test have sparked hope for Quartararo and the Yamaha team as they gear up for the 2024 racing calendar. With new team dynamics in play and fresh insights from the experienced duo Miller and Oliveira, there’s a growing sense of synergy within the team. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how this newfound collaboration will translate to the racetrack.
Team Dynamics and Strategy
The addition of new riders offers a fresh perspective and insights into bike performance and strategy.

Having diverse experiences helps enhance our overall competitiveness,” emphasized Quartararo. This collaboration is essential as Yamaha aims to reclaim its competitive edge in the championship.
