Álex Rins revealed that Yamaha remains focused on refining technical aspects of the bike, after introducing engine and aerodynamic upgrades, and expressed doubts about the new swingarm.
Asked about recent tests and upcoming updates, Rins explained that the team is working through small refinements. ‘Still working on the details. I need to retest again the front fairing because it was available also for me, but I didn’t like it so much in Misano, so I stayed on the standard one’.
The Spaniard said there’s still potential on the engine side: ‘Let’s see if we can do one step more on the engine side’, he said, highlighting the importance of continued development.
He also expressed dissatisfaction with the new swingarm: ‘We need to still fix this new swingarm that both Fabio and myself, we didn’t like so much’. This component plays a crucial role in stability and traction, and may prove vital to race performance.
Rins admits Yamaha has made visible progress, but insists more work lies ahead: ‘The direction is promising, but only with constant testing and fine-tuning will we be able to extract the bike’s full potential’, he concluded.
