Topraka Quartararodan Marked a New Turning Point in Catalunya
The Pramac Yamaha team experienced another challenging weekend at the MotoGP Catalunya Grand Prix. Toprak Razgatlıoğlu and Jack Miller failed to meet expectations. However, Yamaha has made significant progress since the French Grand Prix, particularly evident in Fabio Quartararo’s successful qualifying sessions at Le Mans and Barcelona. Pramac team manager Gino Borsoi’s statements, supported by encouraging feedback from the riders after testing, reinforce this situation.
Toprak’s New Chassis Encounter
During testing, Yamaha’s new chassis and aerodynamic package presented to Toprak Razgatlıoğlu had a noticeable impact on the rider’s performance. Borsoi stated, “The test went quite interestingly. We had the opportunity to test various upgrades. Yamaha brought us a chassis and a new aerodynamic package – these were quite interesting topics for the riders. Toprak felt much better with the new chassis, especially in the corners. This is a significant improvement, particularly in line with his driving style.”
Jack Miller Also Observed Improvements
Improvements were observed in Jack Miller’s handling with the aerodynamic package. Miller expressed feeling more comfortable, with the engine being better controlled and a more relaxed driving experience in the corners. Quartararo echoed similar sentiments.
Rain Test Cut Short
MotoGP riders had to cut short their testing at Circuit de Catalunya in Barcelona after encountering rain during the preparations. This was considered a loss, particularly for the rookie Toprak Razgatlıoğlu. Borsoi said, “Time on the track is not something you can buy. Losing this half-day was not good news for Toprak. We need to get him to ride the bike and teach him how to adapt his driving style. He is an open-minded guy, willing to try new things. So, he is changing.”
Improvements According to Data
According to the data, Toprak had approached Quartararo’s level in some sections of the track, while still needing improvements in others. Borsoi commented, “We are very pleased because before the two races, the other riders, especially Quartararo, had adapted to us and understood that they needed to follow our advice.”
Engine Update Still Pending
The issue of Yamaha M1’s biggest problem – engine performance and top speed – remained unresolved. However, Pramac team manager Gino Borsoi stated that they had no information on this, and Yamaha would focus on gaining more power in their own facilities. “If the engine performance is good, Yamaha will likely bring out the new version on the track, but this will not be too fast.”
