If we manage to have a good collaboration, we will be close to the desire to achieve results," he said.
The Plan
The Japanese explained that the plan involves growing the relationship with Yamaha Italy and working together to achieve better results. The team is focused on improving development and having more young pilots. With the collaboration of Prima Pramac, Yamaha expects to share data and make the most of the "Wild Card" invitations.

Fabio Quartarara and Álex Rins, the official pilots, showed their enthusiasm and illusion for the new season.
