Fabio Quartararo tried a wide range of chassis, aero and electronic developments for his Yamaha V4 during Monday\u2019s post-race Jerez MotoGP test.<\/p>\n
The Frenchman finished just 14th in Sunday\u2019s Spanish Grand Prix, completing the race distance almost 30 seconds behind winner Alex Marquez and 20 seconds slower than his own runner-up time on the previous Inline machine.<\/p>\n
However, Quartararo<\/a> was a more competitive seventh overall (+0.495s) at the Monday test, crediting an improvement in front-end feeling.<\/p>\n \u201cWe made a lot of tests today with electronic chassis, swingarm, aerodynamics,\u201d Quartararo said.<\/p>\n “We already tried the chassis during the race weekend, but I tested a lot of aeros today, and I think the last one that I used was the most positive.\u00a0<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n “For some things, we still need to figure out how to further improve them, but it looks like we did find a bit of front feeling today with the set-up and the aero<\/p>\n \u201cSo on that, I’m quite happy. We know we miss a lot, but I think that I find something in that specific area.<\/p>\n \u201cIt’s a big help when I start to feel the front. I need to feel where the limit is.\u201d<\/p>\n Nonetheless, Quartararo warned not to expect miracles in his home French MotoGP<\/a> at Le Mans in two weeks.<\/p>\n \u201cI think it\u2019ll be a bit better, but I will not say that I’m optimistic.<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n Article continues below ADVERTISEMENT<\/p>\n \u201cI don’t think we found something big; it’s a small detail that can help me for my riding.<\/p>\n \u201cBut being honest we didn’t find something really, really important.\u201d<\/p>\n
