Yamaha Sign off for 2013 in Valencia

Yamaha@Valencia test

Yamaha Factory Racing wrapped up their final day of on-track work for 2013 today in the second of the three days of official testing at Valencia. Riders Jorge Lorenzo and Valentino Rossi will not continue to ride tomorrow having completed the testing schedule required by Yamaha.

Both riders again tested an early version of the 2014 YZR-M1 along with working on a set up to reduce fuel consumption ahead of the rule changes for 2014 which will see a reduction in allowance of fuel for the MotoGP races. Lorenzo and Rossi will now take a well-earned break before returning to the track for the first official IRTA test of 2014 in Sepang, Malaysia.

Jorge Lorenzo

2nd / 1’30.768 / 60 laps

“We tested next year’s bike today and we found some positive things. We are trying some small details that will give us some small advantages. We will wait for Sepang to have bigger and more important modifications.”

Valentino Rossi

7th / 1’31.414 / 57 laps

“Today we focused on the new bike and it was a little bit more difficult than yesterday. We worked a lot to try to test some new systems for the fuel consumption and the settings; it has been a good test. At the end the performance wasn’t fantastic but we made an important job for winter to arrive competitive next year. During this season I wasn’t strong enough in braking so this is the target to improve.”

Wilco Zeelenberg – Yamaha Factory Racing Team Manager –

“Again a lot of information from today. The weather has been great and the track was a bit better this morning than this afternoon. It was a bit difficult to keep the pace at the end of the day. Overall it’s been a positive test and we gained a lot of information so Yamaha can analyse for the preparations for the new season. We are satisfied with today.”

Massimo Meregalli – Yamaha Factory Racing Team Director –

“At the end it has been a positive test and we were able to download some valuable information. We didn’t bring so many parts but it was important to gather the information the technicians were looking for. We finish the test one day early but the schedule has already been completed. We are now at the end of the season and we did so much work and put so much effort in, we gave our best. We achieved a lot of great results and we will now take some rest and then prepare for the first test next year in the best way possible.”
