Yamaha wants to make progress in MotoGP and has implemented not only new solutions on the bike but also strengthened the structure – including the test team, with the hiring of Augusto Fernández.
Jack Miller praised the work done.
In the Australian’s view, the Iwata manufacturer has to capitalize on the advantages of being able to work in testing thanks to development concessions. But he added a caveat:
– Also to be as clear and precise with the comments as possible – which I feel in the past they weren’t getting the clearest of informations, because generally track conditions on a Monday test are phenomenal and the bike’s working fantastic and whatevert you kind of put at the bike it works to a certain degree.
That said, Miller already sees a new approach from Yamaha to testing: ‘What they’re doing now with Augusto and the other test riders, in sort of virgin territory like Valencia on the weekend, and during the week, and so on, they’re kind of covering all the conditions, and trying to make the thing work the best in all conditions – which is a very clear and, let’s say, modern approach to testing and how to develop the bike going forward’.
