Yamaha <\/a>performance at COTA, Razgatlioglu moved on to Jerez, a track he knows well from Superbike, for last weekend\u2019s Spanish Grand Prix.<\/p>\nDespite track knowledges, and a lack of long straights to punish the new V4\u2019s engine output, Jerez proved a tougher a challenge for all the M1s.<\/p>\n
Fabio Quartararo, who took a podium from pole position on the inline machine last season, was 20-seconds slower on his way to 14th in this year\u2019s grand prix.<\/p>\n
Razgatlioglu was 19th after serving a long lap penalty, then returned for Monday\u2019s test, where he worked on being closer to Quartararo.<\/p>\n
\u201cI’m just trying to improve Turns 3 and 4 because I lose a lot,\u201d he said. \u201cThe other corners, I’m almost similar like Fabio.\u201d<\/p>\n

Understeer is Razgatlioglu\u2019s main problem in those corners.<\/p>\n
\u201cCorner 4 when I’m close to other guys, I don\u2019t feel the bike turning immediately,\u201d he said. \u201cI’m going wide. And when I feel this, I keep the brake.<\/p>\n
\u201cNormally Fabio just touched a little bit the brake and entered more fast. When I feel I’m going wide I keep the brake. So I’m going slower when I touch the gas again.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou need to keep more speed there, but the bike does not keep turning. I know this, but still I’m not improve!\u201d<\/p>\n
Razgatlioglu efforts to improve in the faster corners was hampered by the Monday wind.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt’s difficult with the wind. It’s not easy to ride a GP bike with the wind [due to the wings].<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year [on the BMW in WorldSBK] I had only one wing. This year I have many!\u201d<\/p>\n
Razgatlioglu finished the test 20th fastest, 1.546s behind leader Marco Bezzecchi (Aprilia) and one second from Quartararo.<\/p>\n
Pramac team-mate Jack Miller was 16th and Alex Rins 21st.<\/p>\n
