\u201cIt\u2019s too early to say whether I\u2019m happy or not,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t make many laps. We, for me, spent a lot of time changing many things on the setting because we clearly miss our strongest point, which is the front feeling.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, this is why we spent a lot of time in the garage.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe tried to change many things. Luckily, tomorrow we have one more day. Hopefully it\u2019s not raining, but it\u2019s going to be an important day.\u201d<\/p>\n
Yamaha will remain in Valencia for a day of private testing on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cLike I said, today was a really short day.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe didn\u2019t have time to really\u2026 it was all in a rush, just trying to make the bike work.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, like I said, tomorrow is going to be important, especially to find the way with chassis, electronics, engine, and aerodynamics.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, today was just a day to be back a bit with the bike, trying to understand a bit more, because the riding style is different compared to the four-inline.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut, I like the way of riding on the V4.\u201d<\/p>\n

Quartararo\u2019s time on the V4 was slightly faster than his inline-four best of a 1m30.020s.<\/p>\n
However, when asked if this gave him some hope that the V4 project was now starting from a similar level as the old bike, he said no because he didn\u2019t push the inline-four to its limit on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, not yet, because this morning was just I did two laps with the standard bike, with the medium tyre, with quite a lot of fuel.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis afternoon was soft\/soft tyres, trying to find the limit.<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd it was half a tenth better. So, it\u2019s too early. We need to work hard and give the best direction to the engineers to feel what they can do.\u201d<\/p>\n
