Yamaha Motor Has Many Problems, Finally Valentino Rossi Opens His Voice – In the 2022 MotoGP season, Italian star, Valentino Rossi will enter his 26th season in Grand Prix. This is the 16th year with Yamaha, although the first in the Satellite team, Petronas Yamaha SRT.
“Next year could be a tough hurdle. We have to be ready to start the first race,” Rossi said in the information contained in Speedweek.
Rossi, who is now still the oldest rider on the MotoGP track, has big ideas for preparation for the 2022 season.
“I have to work hard for myself. We have to improve some places, say qualifications, which are important at this time.
As usual, we will move the Yamaha and try to do a good job in the winter (pre-season test) until we can improve in specific factors,” added Rossi excitedly.
“In these years – this year (2022) – we were strong only at the start of the season. But then we suffered more than our opponents in the second half of the season, because they (some competitors) managed to do everything new.
It’s not easy with Yamaha at the end of the season.” said Rossi.
As a particular problem for Yamaha in recent years, this is clear, starting from the top speed and the lack of grip on the rear wheels.
Except for Rossi who performed poorly in 2022, his former group mate, Maverick Vinales appeared really troubled, often blaming the bike and explaining that Yamaha’s mistakes had started since 2022.
So what is Rossi’s opinion about this?
“We really had a hard time with the grip on the rear wheel. If we can’t get the rear tire to work well, it will be difficult to ride our bike – and it will be difficult for us to be competitive.
That is the most important point – apart from what you need to do for top-speed – not just on the engine, on the aerodynamics, etc. So yes, I agree,” said The Doctor.
“2022 to 2022, it was an important year for the Yamaha and the M1, because I think that was the start of our misery.
Until 2022 this bike really competed, was able to win races and the title of world champion.
Since that time we have experienced more and more difficulties. But actually, I don’t understand how much is up to Yamaha or other manufacturers.
In my opinion, other manufacturers have added. In order to compete, we must also improve ourselves, just as they (the enemy) did,” Rossi hoped.
