MotoGP, VIDEO - Pavesio: "We improved over the one lap, but not in the race pace"

The second round of the season held in Argentina saw the Yamaha riders finish outside the Top 10. Specifically Alex Rins crossed the finish line of Sunday's race in 11th place, Jack Miller in 13th and just one place back finished Fabio Quartararo. A result that on the one hand can be called encouraging, on the other left a bit of a bitter taste in the mouth inside the Japanese manufacturer's team.

In a video that you can see above, general manager Paolo Pavesio took stock about what happened at the weekend at the Termas de Rio Hondo circuit. "In spite of a complicated weekend there are, however, some positives to take from it, such as the speed shown over the one lap that allowed us to enter immediately with two riders in Q2. This means that the bike has improved in this respect, while it still lacks the pace over distance," was his analysis.

"We really struggled to find the right balance to exploit our real potential and to manage traction out of the corners. This clearly affected the overall performance of our riders even though three of them got into the points in the GP. Unfortunately Fabio was unlucky because he was hit by a rival at the start, in any case we are very motivated and looking forward to racing again in two weeks in Austin," he continued in his remarks.

On the other hand, regarding the behavior of the pair racing in Moto2 with the Blu Cru Pramac team, namely Arbolino and Guevara, who were 11th and 15th respectively, the Italian manager said, "Excellent that they brought home a good haul of points, but above all that they were quicker than in Thailand. Unfortunately, Tony while in the top 10 suffered compartment syndrome problem that did not allow him to get the most out of the bike. Different was the case of Izan, who started from 23rd position and climbed back up to ninth. Too bad that due to pushing hard he wore out the tires a lot and in the second part of the race he slipped back. Again there are things to improve, but there are positive signs and the two riders are eager to get back on the bike," he concluded.
