Fourth consecutive zero for Valentino Rossi, the sixth if we also consider the forced break caused by the Covid. The withdrawal of Valencia it hurts a lot Doctor, who gave up after a few laps due a breakdown of his Yamaha M1. After the race the centaur from Tavullia did not hide a certain thing disappointment: “I got off to a good start and then I was calm. I just needed to get back on the bike and to do 27 laps, of understand a few things. I was doing well, I was better than this morning. I wasted time with Pecco because being behind in the group is always difficult, but I wasn’t doing badly. But then at turn 4 when I opened the throttle the bike fell silent. We still don’t know what happened ”.
“I don’t know what happened, the bike went completely silent. The engine must not be broken, she just kept quiet. In my opinion it was an electrical problem, one of those 1 euro things… ”, he joked to Sky.
On track for the Yamaha it was a debacle totale, with Vinales, Quartararo and Morbidelli out of the top ten and the dominant Suzuki, with Mir close to the title: “Our reference must be Suzuki. We have to learn a lot from them. For years it was thought that the problem was the engine with the four in-line. Instead they have shown us that it is not that ”, is the Yamaha stick.
“Brivio managed to merge the Japanese method with the Italian / European model. MotoGP has changed a lot, it’s more like F1. It seems that Yamaha has not done this step. They have understood something about the tires that we did not understand. Yamaha won with Franco, but the difference between one track and another is incredible ”.
“The key to winning the World Cup it’s a bike that wins every Sunday. Then the engine is important, in the our engine department something is not working. The bike is always the slowest and lacking in reliability. We hope that Yamaha will do something ”.
