“I am looking forward to Qatar — it’s a track that can suit Yamaha, with lots of long corners and just one long straight. I feel like we made a step forward in Austin, and having more dry time in Lusail will be key to continue developing this bike. Having had a solid weekend like we did in Austin, where we showed progress, definitely gives a great morale boost to the whole team. Now, we need to keep moving in that same direction.”
