Revolutionizing MotoGP: Inside Yamaha’s Strategic Shift to V4 Engine Development with Max Bartolini
"Yamaha's focus isn't on strength: The driving force behind their V4 MotoGP engine development – Exclusive Insight
‘The primary benefit stems from the motorcycle's configuration, rather than the V4 engine itself’"
In September, Yamaha sparked interest by announcing the initiation of a V4 engine project, running parallel to its existing Inline4 MotoGP engine development.
In Buriram, Crash.net had the opportunity to meet with Max Bartolini, who will assume the role of Yamaha's MotoGP technical director in 2024. The discussion focused on understanding the rationale behind choosing a V4 engine, its potential debut in races, and additional insights.

To begin, let's delve into Bartolini’s history…
Crash.netDuring your childhood, Max, did you always aspire to become an engineer or a rider? What were the beginnings like for you?
Max Bartolini: That's an interesting query. My ambition has always been to pursue a career as a technician or an engineer rather than being a rider or driver. My professional journey began with rally cars back in 1996, primarily because rallies were the foremost popular motorsport in my hometown in Italy.
Crash.net
What prompted you to switch to motorcycles?
Max Bartolini: My passion for motorcycles played a big part in my decision. While I was involved in Formula One, the opportunity with Ducati came up, and I chose to make the switch. I've always relied on my gut feeling to guide me, and that's how I continue to operate!
Crash.netYou had a lengthy tenure with Ducati…
Max Bartolini: Roughly around two decades, give or take.
Crash.net
How many individuals collaborated with Gigi [Dall’Igna]?
Max Bartolini: In 2004, I transitioned to Ducati, a decade prior to Gigi joining, and subsequently spent nearly a decade working alongside Gigi.
Initially, my focus was primarily on World Superbike, but in 2010, I transitioned to the MotoGP initiative. Collaborating with Gigi was a great experience; his approach to handling various technical aspects is distinctly effective.
Crash.net reports that Yamaha's major technological update is the introduction of a V4 engine. What are the potential benefits of this change?
Max Bartolini: When it comes to the V4, the focus often lands on the engine. However, in my opinion, the major benefit actually stems from the bike's overall design, rather than just the engine.
Based on what we've heard from our engine team, the difference in raw power should be minimal, to be honest.
However, there are methods to optimize the bike's configuration that become somewhat simpler with the V4. Additionally, this allows for better alignment with the tires, as the key is always to ensure the tires are functioning effectively.
Yamaha performed impressively while partnered with Bridgestone. They've also experienced a fair share of successful races with Michelin. However, with Michelin, there's a greater emphasis on leveraging the rear tyres over the front.
The [V4] engine layout offers an advantage in designing the motorcycle with a focus on aligning it towards the direction of the [rear tyre]. That presents the challenge.
Truly, crafting the V4 engine presents challenges, yet I believe it's even more crucial to design the motorcycle that incorporates the V4 engine.
Is a V4 engine more compatible with a bike that is longer and lower?
Max Bartolini: Initially, in terms of aerodynamics, the [V4] motorcycle is expected to be about 10 to 15 centimeters slimmer, which should significantly improve its aerodynamic performance. Additionally, there will be adjustments to the weight distribution and the overall design of the bike, shifting it slightly towards the rear, making it more manageable.
Overall, these two aspects should be sufficient for assistance. Furthermore, typically, a V4 engine tends to be slightly lighter than an Inline4.
Thus, it appears that there could potentially be benefits to using the V4. However, this doesn't guarantee it will be superior. We still have to construct a motorcycle and demonstrate that it outperforms the current model.
Crash.net Is the adoption of a unified tyre regulation and the prevalence of V4 engines among competing motorcycles leading to a departure from the traditional Inline approach focused on cornering speed?
Max Bartolini: It's hard to say for sure, but if we go back a decade, the racer in third would lag by a second per lap. Nowadays, that margin has shrunk to just a tenth of a second, and a one-second difference could mean dropping to 15th place.
If everyone else is checking out the V4, it's worth taking a moment to see it for yourself. Ignoring it completely wouldn't be a wise decision.
Crash.netUpon joining Yamaha, were you aware of the V4?
Max Bartolini: Not exactly. We shared our views, but it seemed like they had already decided to verify things.
Crash.netIs it going to have the same 90-degree V configuration as the rest in MotoGP?
Max Bartolini: We can say it's still unresolved.
Crash.netRegarding the schedule for the V4's debut, Alex Rins mentioned it could be around mid-next year. However, its usage in races hinges on its performance surpassing that of the inline model, meaning its appearance is not yet certain.
Max Bartolini: There's no certainty at this point. Honestly, we won't have any real answers until we actually test a bike that performs well on the track.
As you're aware, creating a bike of this nature involves sourcing entirely new components, distinct from those used in the existing model. The only elements likely to be retained are the brakes, suspension, and electronics.
Before launching a high-performance motorcycle, it's essential to spend several months ensuring its reliability and functionality. Following this, the focus shifts to enhancing its performance.
Until that time, it's uncertain when the race may occur.
Crash.net Is it true that alongside your work on the existing 1,000cc Inline engine, there's also a V4 engine in progress? Furthermore, are there plans for both Inline and V4 variants of the 850cc engine by 2027?
Max Bartolini: We're still in the process of making a decision, you could say. Definitely, we're beginning to examine all aspects, and I believe we'll need to come to a conclusion sooner rather than later.
Due to our constraints, it is impractical to undertake multiple projects at once, even with significant effort. Ultimately, our resources and workforce are finite.
Yamaha is making significant efforts. However, up to this point, their presence in the racing sector isn't as dominant as some might believe. While the company has a large footprint, there's room for expansion within their racing division.
Eventually, a decision must be made. When exactly? At this point, we lack the necessary details for me to make a decision.
Crash.netIn discussing resources, did you say that Marmotors [Luca Marmorini] is contributing to the V4 project?
Max Bartolini: Absolutely, they contribute to our engine development process.
Does this include the V4 model, as reported by Crash.net
Max Bartolini: In all aspects, our collaboration is total. We view them as an integral element of Yamaha rather than as an advisory or external entity. Their assistance spans across the board, including both Inline4 and V4, without distinction.
Crash.net poses the question: Is the decision between selecting an Inline and a V4 somewhat reminiscent of the time in 2004 when Rossi transitioned to Yamaha and was given a variety of engines to try out by Masao Furusawa, leading to Rossi's choice of the 'big bang'?
Max Bartolini mentioned, "It's somewhat premature at this moment, as initially, we need to observe the performance of the V4 engine."
Overall, when looking at the present in comparison to 2004, the most notable change is the significant increase in engine power. Additionally, advancements in electronics have played a crucial role, especially considering that back in 2004, ride-by-wire technology was scarcely used.
Currently, the prevailing strategy in electronics involves developing a robust engine and then optimizing its performance through sophisticated electronic management.
Initially, you must reach the true power potential, which might be, let's say, an additional 50 or 60 horsepower. It appears to be a significant challenge. This is how the situation has evolved from 2004. Nowadays, electronics play a much greater role in management.
Crash.net reports that Yamaha will field four riders in next year's MotoGP season. Could it be that certain riders will opt for a V4 engine while others stick with the Inline4 configuration?
Max Bartolini: To be frank, this concept never crossed my mind. I'm uncertain about the company's ability to finance the construction of two distinct motorcycles, as it involves more than just varying the engines.
This implies pursuing two distinct paths of development, requiring two unique inventories of replacement parts and so forth. It seems like this could pose significant challenges.
Eventually, a decision must be made.
For two decades, Peter has been a fixture in the racing world, witnessing the rise and retirement of Valentino Rossi. He's now leading the coverage on Suzuki's withdrawal from the scene and the challenges Marc Marquez faces with his injuries.

MotoGP victor Jorge Martin entangled in contentious dispute on Spanish television
Martin finds himself at the center of a contractual disagreement over a TV interview
Freshly crowned MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin found himself entangled in a legal tussle between two Spanish TV networks over a scheduled interview appearance.
Martin clinched his inaugural MotoGP world championship title during the final race of the 2024 season last weekend.

He emerges as the inaugural racer in the contemporary period to clinch the championship with an independent team, marking him as Ducati's third victor in the MotoGP series.
Martin was scheduled to make an appearance on La Revuelta, a new show on Television Espanola that was established this year to compete with the longstanding program El Hormiguero.
Martin had to call off his scheduled performance on La Revuelta because of contractual obligations with El Hormiguero, a decision made while he was in the dressing room for the latter show.
The dispute seems to revolve around the issue that Atresmedia, the parent company of El Hormiguero, also holds an agreement with Dorna Sports to broadcast a selection of races on La Sexta without charging viewers.
"Today we were expecting MotoGP world champion Jorge Martin, who, as it turns out, is actually here, backstage," said David Broncano, the host of La Revuelta.
"Yet, thirty minutes prior to departure, he informed us that El Hormiguero had discovered his impending visit."
"Because they prefer no visitor to show up in this location instead of another, they've exerted their influence using the methods of persuasion available to them. Consequently, Jorge has informed us that he's unable to participate in the interview."
"He has informed us that he's unable to participate in the show due to certain consequences that would arise."
El Hormiguero released a statement regarding the incident, indicating: "It was a minor miscommunication.
"Fourteen days prior to the ultimate MotoGP event, we had secured an exclusive appearance by Jorge Martin on our show."
Today, a representative from their team accidentally altered the planned meeting with another cyclist.
"Following the incident, Dorna, the entity in charge of the Motorcycle World Championship, reached out to the officials to address the matter."
Autosport reports that the disagreement over the contract came to light when Martin shared a tweet, which has since been removed, regarding his appearances on La Revuelta.
La Revuelta released a concise statement on social media in support of Martin and his team, asserting that they should not be held responsible for the circumstances.
"Yesterday, Jorge Martin and his team went above and beyond to make sure the interview could go on air, dispelling any uncertainties," the statement said.
"Their conduct was flawless, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome him again in the future and rejoice in his achievement as a world champion."
Martin expressed his gratitude on Twitter, saying, "Appreciation to everyone at La Revuelta and our viewers! What an incredible evening! I'll return shortly and we can all enjoy it together."

KTM refutes claims of impending financial aid from Red Bull amidst corporate difficulties
Despite economic challenges, KTM's MotoGP venture remains on course
The Pierer Mobility Group has released a formal declaration refuting claims that Red Bull's co-owner, Mark Mateschitz, might assist KTM in overcoming its financial difficulties.
KTM, which collaborates with Red Bull for its MotoGP team sponsorship, has experienced a dramatic 90% decrease in its stock values since February 2022. This significant financial downturn has prompted the company to adopt severe actions.

The company based in Austria has significantly reduced its board of directors from six members to just two. Additionally, it is preparing for the dismissal of up to 300 employees, adding to the number of positions already eliminated.
KTM plans to halt manufacturing during the initial two months of 2025 as it seeks to secure approximately €100 million.
The Austrian publication Salzburger Nachrichten has disclosed that discussions have occurred regarding Mark Mateschitz, the son of the deceased Red Bull co-founder Dietrich, potentially providing financial support to KTM.
In a formal rebuttal, the Pierer Mobility Group refuted claims made by the media, stating, "Pierer Mobility wishes to clarify, contrary to what has been reported in the press, that there are currently no ongoing talks regarding Mark Mateschitz's potential involvement with Pierer Mobility and KTM."
KTM remains committed to its MotoGP initiative, ensuring it progresses as planned despite the firm's economic challenges.
In a significant change, the Husqvarna name will no longer feature in the Moto2 and Moto3 championships next season. Moreover, Tech3's teams will cease to compete under the GASGAS branding, which is associated with KTM motorcycles.
Instead, Tech3 will go back to using its team name from the 2021 and 2022 seasons, during which it was called Tech3 KTM Factory Racing.
During a conversation with Salzburger Nachrichten, Pit Beirer stated, "We plan to remain in each of the series we currently participate in."
"No matter the task at hand, we give it our all, committing fully with 100 percent
"However, the spotlight has now shifted solely to the orange [KTM] brand. In certain competitions, our representation has tripled in its intensity."
"The early-stage program we offer, starting with the Rookies Cup, is also secure. During this challenging period, our associates and sponsors are backing us."
The company's achievements in the past two decades have been closely tied to motorsport.
"We serve as the top promotional asset for the company, which has experienced steady growth for more than two decades."
"Our formula for success was simple: win races first, then sell motorcycles."
"We are prepared for competition, viewing motorsport not merely as a goal but as something beyond."
"Currently, we find ourselves in a challenging period, and as the motorsport division, we are committed to contributing towards stabilizing the organization."
"We belong to this family and it's crucial that we remain united at this time. Our training in sports has taught us how to combat challenges. We dedicate all our efforts to the organization and we will overcome these obstacles as one."
Since entering the MotoGP circuit in 2017, KTM has secured victories in seven grand prix events. However, the eight-year period they initially envisioned to position themselves as championship contenders has now passed.
The brand secured the runner-up position in the 2024 MotoGP constructors' rankings, yet it has not achieved a grand prix victory since 2022.
In the upcoming season, the factory team will feature riders Pedro Acosta and Brad Binder, as Maverick Vinales and Enea Bastianini team up with the Tech3 squad, which receives factory support.

Rookie Sensation Somkiat Chantra Reveals Near-Heart Attack Experience Before First LCR Honda MotoGP Test
MotoGP Newcomer Nearly Experiences Heart Attack Prior to Initial Test
Somkiat Chantra Discusses Debut with LCR Honda
LCR Honda's new MotoGP rider, Somkiat Chantra, expressed that he was extremely nervous to the point of nearly having a heart attack prior to his initial bike test on Tuesday in Barcelona.
In an unexpected move during the 2024 rider market changes, the two-time Moto2 victor was chosen by Honda to replace Takaaki Nakagami at LCR.

Chantra took to the track for the first time on Tuesday during the Barcelona test that follows the season, where he finished 61 laps and ranked second from the bottom in the timing rankings.
After completing his initial ride on the Honda, Chantra shared that he felt quite anxious before starting out.
"Definitely, before getting on the bike, I felt an overwhelming sensation, almost like a heart attack was imminent," he shared.
"When I mounted the bicycle, I thought, 'Alright, let's begin to understand how the bike operates and its mechanics.'"
In his initial trial, Chantra concentrated on familiarizing himself with the Michelin tires and carbon brakes, as he had experience with Pirellis and steel brakes during the 2024 Moto2 season.
"Today marked my initial experience with the MotoGP motorcycle, and my focus was on getting accustomed to the carbon brakes and familiarizing myself with the tyres, as they differ from what I'm used to in MotoGP," he further mentioned.
"Moreover, my team consistently advises to exercise caution on the left side, as the tire tends to cool down quickly when driving straight."
"I was attempting to understand tyre management."
The rider from Thailand expressed his astonishment when he first accelerated the RC213V and then decelerated at the straight's end, providing him with a genuine perception of a MotoGP bike's velocity.
"During my final lap, I made an effort to remain somewhat composed while managing the brake and accelerator," he explained.
Upon reaching the final turn, I attempted to push a bit more to the maximum. While I was in the aerodynamic tuck, it felt alright.
"However, as I slowed down and looked up, the speed was astonishing. With each lap, it improved significantly."
Chantra joins the ranks as one of three newcomers to MotoGP in 2024, sharing the stage with Moto2 world champion Ai Ogura who is set to ride for Trackhouse, and Fermin Aldeguer who will be joining Gresini.

Casey Stoner reminisces about the 2007 Ducati's performance: 'It wasn't particularly outstanding in any area'
Stoner had a remarkable 2007 MotoGP season, though it came with its challenges
Casey Stoner mentioned that the Ducati GP7, which he used to excel in the 2007 MotoGP season, "wasn't particularly outstanding in any aspect," yet it "served my purposes well."
In 2007, the Australian rider made a switch to Ducati for his sophomore season in the top tier, following a debut year characterized by speed but marred by accidents with LCR Honda in 2006.

Ducati demonstrated strong performance during its initial four seasons in the category, yet Stoner amazed everyone by securing victories in 10 grand prix races and clinching his first of two MotoGP championships, finishing 125 points ahead of Honda's Dani Pedrosa.
The second-highest Ducati rider in the rankings was Loris Capirossi, who placed seventh and secured a single victory – notably at the Japanese Grand Prix where Stoner clinched the championship title.
During his appearance on the Ducati Diaries podcast this year, Stoner shared insights into the challenges he faced with the GP7, even though he was able to excel while riding it.
"He started by saying that aside from being decent in fourth and fifth gear, it didn't excel at much else."
"It was unable to navigate turns effectively. However, its performance was quite impressive when braking, maintaining stability throughout."
"Undoubtedly, it lacked potent braking capabilities, yet its stability during braking was unparalleled, marking the first time I had experienced such steadiness on a bike."
"Therefore, it was truly a wonderful feature to possess. In the fourth, fifth, and sixth gear, it truly excelled and stood out."
"However, in the initial three gears, we were completely outperformed. Therefore, at any circuits where acceleration and strong pushes out of the turns are crucial, we found ourselves at a significant disadvantage, facing great challenges."
"Our strategy was to downplay the flaws and enhance its strong points. The results were clear to everyone: its remarkable top speed and the stability it maintained during braking were its standout features."
"Essentially, our strategy was to secure positions at the front of the pack during races, forcing our competitors to exert more effort. This was crucial because if we failed to secure a good starting position or to lead early in the race, catching up with other racers became exceedingly difficult. Once opponents managed to gain momentum with several uninterrupted laps, leveraging the full potential of our bike was challenging."
"Essentially, our strategy was to leverage that advantage to its fullest and attempt to navigate the challenges presented by the corners, given the significant difficulty we faced in steering."
"In my view, due to its excessively low stability, it lacked sufficient tilt, which eventually led to adjustments in subsequent years. Although we lost the edge in speed, these modifications improved the motorcycle's maneuverability."
"However, during that period, it proved to be a difficult task, yet it accomplished what was necessary for me. My team performed exceptionally well, mirroring my own efforts."
He expressed his gratitude, saying, "Having the chance to compete for a factory team was such an honor. Coming from a situation where I had essentially just committed to Yamaha, and then to have them withdraw the contract not once, but twice at the very last moment, leaving me without a team for the upcoming season."
"Thankfully, we ended up partnering with Ducati. It gave me the determination to prove to Yamaha that they were wrong to let that opportunity slip."
"Therefore, my objective was to secure a few top-three finishes and perhaps achieve a single victory this year."

Unveiled: The Astounding Wealth of Marc Marquez
Insights into Marc Marquez's Tremendous Fortune Revealed
Marc Marquez's financial value has been disclosed in Spain, and the figures are astonishing.
Forbes, a prominent platform focusing on business and finance, included the MotoGP sensation in its 2024 compilation of the wealthiest individuals from Spain.

Despite not making it into the list of the top 100 wealthiest individuals in Spain, Marquez ranks among the country's richest athletes.
According to La Vanguardia, Marquez has amassed a fortune of €80 million.
Tennis icon Rafael Nadal, with a net worth of €310 million, alongside soccer players Andres Iniesta and Sergio Ramos, who each hold fortunes of €100 million, surpass Marquez in terms of financial wealth among athletes.
According to the report, Marquez's considerable fortune primarily stems from his sponsorships, including a significant partnership with Red Bull, among other entities.
Marquez stands out as the most prominent figure in the current MotoGP lineup.
Nevertheless, a year prior, he opted for a self-imposed financial loss by departing from Honda a year before his contract ended, which was the most lucrative deal for a rider in the sport.
Choosing to pass up on an estimated €15 million to €20 million for his last year with Honda, this decision has not affected his total net worth.
Switching to Gresini Ducati significantly contributed to Marquez's success in racing, following a challenging period with Honda.
Securing victories with Gresini this season paved the way for Marquez to be elevated to Ducati's official factory team in 2025.
Teaming up with the premier squad and operating top-tier equipment could pave the way for Marquez to clinch another championship title, potentially boosting his financial value significantly.
Specifics regarding Marquez's compensation for 2025 as a factory rider are yet to be disclosed, but he does not top the list of the highest earners among riders for the 2024 season.
The distinction belongs to Fabio Quartararo, who earlier this season secured a new Yamaha contract worth €12 million annually.
For ten years, James worked as a sports reporter for Sky Sports, providing coverage on a wide range of sports including American games, soccer, and Formula 1.

Espargaro embarked on his first MotoGP race in 2010 with Pramac, and from the 2012 season onwards, he consistently participated, joining teams such as Aspar, Forward Racing, Suzuki, and eventually Aprilia throughout his career.
Espargaro achieved his greatest success with Aprilia, clinching his first-ever grand prix win in Argentina in 2022, followed by two additional victories in 2023.
In a conversation with Crash.net following his commendable fifth-place finish in his most recent race, when inquired about how he wishes to be recalled, Espargaro responded, "A common phrase that many individuals resonate with is that perseverance outshines natural ability.
"I genuinely hold the belief that it's accurate. Throughout my professional journey, I've always sensed that my abilities were somewhat inferior compared to those of my peers."
"Through diligent work, investing every possible effort, leveraging the full potential of my team and everyone involved, surrounding myself with a strong team, being intelligent in my approach, and undoubtedly working tirelessly, it's possible to achieve your goals."
"I aspire to be recalled as someone who always persevered."
Espargaro might still participate in a 2025 race as a one-off entry tied to his role as a test rider for Honda, although he mentioned following the Solidarity GP that he hadn't considered it yet.
Espargaro expressed his feelings following his final race, stating, "I felt a significant drop in stress – the moment the race concluded, I experienced a great sense of relief."
"Clearly, I'll deeply miss Aprilia and my RS-GP. However, I no longer had the desire to continue racing."
"I'm incredibly relieved and filled with joy. I feel a great sense of pride looking back at how far this young one has come since my arrival, what I've accomplished, and the family I've built."
"I believe we've entered a fresh phase in existence. There's a limit to everything."
"I believe recognizing the right moments in life is crucial, and I consider myself fortunate to have the opportunity to part ways in such a manner."

This characteristic stands out vividly in Davide Brivio's memory.
"Brivio shared with Relevo that while they were associated with Yamaha, he was with Honda, and they managed to persuade him to join their team."
His mindset was solely focused on victory; indeed, for him, anything less than first place was considered a failure.
"He introduced a distinctly different strategy at Yamaha, embedding a mindset focused on consistently striving for victory and reaching the highest possible standards."
Valentino excelled in his professionalism, both inside the pit and while riding the motorcycle. He was highly professional.
"He dedicated extended periods to work, convened discussions, engaged in research, yet beyond the conventional boundaries, one could enjoy a meal out and have a good time.
"He displayed a high level of professionalism while also bringing a sense of enjoyment to the experience. It served as an excellent example for me, showing that it's possible to combine seriousness with fun."
In 2004, Rossi made the bold move to transition from Honda, where he had clinched the MotoGP championship, to Yamaha, risking his professional trajectory.
In his initial two seasons with Yamaha, The Doctor claimed additional championships under the leadership of team manager Brivio.
"Most importantly, we enjoyed ourselves"
Brivio recalled their partnership's major moments, such as the initial win or the inaugural world championship.
"Events such as the 2009 Barcelona race, and the 2008 Laguna Seca…"
However, there was a notable intensity, especially when Jorge Lorenzo became part of the team.
"Brivio emphasized the uniqueness of Lorenzo's entry into Yamaha."
"Valentino revolutionized Yamaha’s legacy and, naturally, he saw himself as the top contender."
"When one is present and then another comes along…"
"The experience remained positive. He handled it skillfully."
Rossi and Lorenzo famously constructed a barrier within their garage to conceal information from one another while they competed fiercely for the MotoGP championship.
"Valentino holds a dear spot in my heart," Brivio expressed.
"We secured four championships, accomplished numerous things as a team, but most importantly, we enjoyed ourselves immensely."

Casey Stoner’s Unlikely Triumph: Reflecting on the Flaws and Fortunes of the 2007 Ducati GP7
Casey Stoner looks back on his 2007 season with Ducati, noting that the bike wasn't particularly strong in any specific area. However, despite the challenges, Stoner managed to lead the 2007 MotoGP season successfully.
Casey Stoner claims that the Ducati GP7, which he used to dominate the 2007 MotoGP season, "wasn't particularly outstanding in any aspect," but it "got the job done for me."
In 2007, the Australian rider switched to Ducati for his second season in the top-tier category, following a debut year with LCR on a Honda in 2006 that was marked by speed and frequent crashes.

Ducati performed consistently well during its initial four years in the category, but it was Stoner who shocked everyone by securing 10 grand prix victories and clinching his first MotoGP championship, finishing 125 points ahead of Honda's Dani Pedrosa.
In the rankings, the next Ducati rider after Stoner was Loris Capirossi, who finished in seventh place. Interestingly, Capirossi's single victory came at the Japanese Grand Prix, the same event where Stoner secured his championship title.
In a recent appearance on the Ducati Diaries podcast, Stoner shared his thoughts on the challenges he faced with the GP7, even though he was able to achieve great success with it.
"It didn't excel at much, except when it came to fourth and fifth gear," he started.
"It struggled to navigate the corners effectively. However, it performed well and remained stable when braking."
"Certainly, there was no question about it. While it didn't excel in braking power, it offered remarkable stability, making it likely the most stable bike I've ever ridden when it comes to braking."
"That was definitely a great aspect of it. When you hit the fourth, fifth, and sixth gears, it really showed its true potential."
"In the initial three gears, we would completely lose out. On any track where quick acceleration and powering through corners were crucial, we faced significant challenges and had a tough time keeping up."
"We aimed to reduce the weaknesses and enhance the strengths. The strengths were clear to everyone: its impressive top speed, and with that speed, we achieved stable braking."
"In essence, our strategy was to position ourselves at the front of the races as often as possible, forcing others to put in the effort. If our qualifying rounds didn't go well or we weren't leading early on, catching up was a significant challenge. This was particularly true because if others managed to maintain a series of uninterrupted laps, it became difficult for us to take full advantage of our bike's capabilities."
"In essence, we attempted to fully leverage that advantage and managed whatever we could while navigating the corners, as it was extremely challenging to make the vehicle turn."
"With such stability, the bike was running too low and lacked sufficient pitch. Eventually, I managed to convince them to make adjustments in the later years. Although we lost the speed advantage, we improved the bike's ability to turn."
"That year was definitely tough, but it worked out for me in the end. My team performed incredibly well, matching my efforts every step of the way."
He expressed feeling extremely fortunate to have had the chance to compete with a factory team. He explained that he had recently secured a deal with Yamaha, but for two consecutive years, they unexpectedly withdrew the contract at the last minute, leaving him without a ride for the following season.
"Luckily, we entered into an agreement with Ducati. I was driven to demonstrate to Yamaha that they made an error by removing that opportunity."
"My objective for this year is to achieve a few podium finishes and hopefully secure at least one victory."

Uncovered: The Astonishing Net Worth of Marc Marquez
Insights Shared on Marc Marquez's Significant Fortune
The financial worth of Marc Marquez has been disclosed in Spain, and the figures are astonishing.
Forbes, the renowned business and finance publication, has included the MotoGP star in its list of Spain's wealthiest individuals for the year 2024.

While Marquez has not yet made it into the list of the 100 wealthiest Spaniards, he is considered one of the wealthiest individuals in the sports world
According to La Vanguardia, Marquez has a fortune of 80 million euros.
Among athletes, only tennis icon Rafael Nadal, with a net worth of €310 million, and football players Andres Iniesta and Sergio Ramos, each possessing €100 million, have amassed greater wealth than Marquez.
According to the report, Marquez's fortune primarily comes from his sponsorships. He collaborates with companies such as Red Bull, as well as others.
Marquez stands out as the most prominent figure in the current MotoGP lineup.
Nonetheless, he willingly accepted a financial loss last year when he decided to leave Honda with one year still left on what was the largest rider contract in the sport.
Choosing not to receive the reported €15 million to €20 million for his last year with Honda has not affected his total wealth.
Switching to Gresini Ducati significantly boosted Marquez's performance on the track, following a challenging period with Honda.
This year, Marquez's return to winning races with the Gresini team helped him secure a spot with the official factory Ducati team for the 2025 season.
Competing with the leading team on the finest equipment might help Marquez win another championship, which would positively impact his financial status.
While specifics about Marquez's salary for the 2025 season as a factory rider are still unknown, he will not be the top-earning rider on the 2024 roster.
Fabio Quartararo secured the prestigious €12 million annual contract with Yamaha earlier this season.

Aleix Espargaro: "My hope is to be remembered as…"
Long-time MotoGP competitor announces retirement
Aleix Espargaro expresses a desire for his MotoGP career to be remembered as a testament to the idea that "dedication can surpass natural talent," as he steps into retirement.
The 35-year-old ended his MotoGP career after last week's 2024 season finale in Barcelona, where he had initially started competing in the world championship back in 2004.

Espargaro first appeared in MotoGP in 2010 with Pramac. He then became a regular participant starting in the 2012 season, racing for teams such as Aspar, Forward Racing, Suzuki, and eventually Aprilia throughout his career.
Espargaro achieved his greatest accomplishments with Aprilia, claiming his first grand prix win in Argentina in 2022 and securing two additional victories in 2023.
In an interview with Crash.net following his gritty fifth-place finish in his recent race, Espargaro was questioned about his preferred legacy. He responded, "There's a common saying that suggests hard work surpasses talent."
"I've always genuinely believed this to be the case. Throughout my career, I often sensed that I wasn't as naturally gifted as many of my colleagues."
"By dedicating yourself fully, utilizing all available resources and the support of a strong team, along with being clever and diligent, you can achieve your goals."
"I hope to be remembered as someone who always persevered."
Espargaro might still compete in a race as a wildcard entry in 2025, thanks to his role in testing with Honda. However, after the Solidarity GP, he mentioned that this wasn't something he was currently considering.
Discussing his feelings following his final race, Espargaro expressed: "I feel very calm now – once I crossed the finish line, I experienced a great sense of relief."
"Clearly, I will greatly miss both Aprilia and my RS-GP. However, I no longer wanted to continue racing."
"I feel an immense sense of relief. I'm extremely happy and proud of how far I've come since arriving here as a youngster, the accomplishments I've reached, and the family I've built."
"I believe it's time to start a new phase in life. I've reached my limit."
"In life, recognizing the right moments is crucial, and I feel fortunate to have the opportunity to bid farewell in this way."

"He taught me a valuable lesson…"

This is the trait that Davide Brivio recalls vividly.
In a conversation with Relevo, Brivio mentioned, "While I was with Yamaha and he was with Honda, we persuaded him to join our team."
"He was driven by a mindset that focused solely on victory; finishing in second place was simply unacceptable to him."
He introduced a new strategy at Yamaha, emphasizing a mindset focused on constantly striving for victory and reaching the highest level of performance.
Valentino excelled in his professionalism both in the garage and while riding the motorcycle. His approach was highly professional.
He put in extensive work hours, attended meetings, and studied diligently, but beyond that, there was time to enjoy dinners and have a good time.
"He maintained a high level of professionalism while being quite enjoyable to be around, teaching me that it's possible to balance both qualities effectively."
In 2004, Rossi switched from Honda to Yamaha after winning the MotoGP championship, making a bold move in his racing career.
During his initial two seasons with Yamaha, The Doctor, working with team manager Brivio, secured additional championship titles.
'Most importantly, we enjoyed ourselves'
Brivio recalled the initial win and the inaugural world championship as standout moments in their partnership.
"Races such as those held in Barcelona in 2009 and Laguna Seca in 2008…"
However, there was also a spirited energy, especially noticeable when Jorge Lorenzo became part of the team.
Brivio emphasized that Lorenzo joining Yamaha was a significant occasion.
Valentino was the individual who transformed Yamaha's history and naturally considered himself somewhat of a top figure.
"When a top contender is already present and another top contender shows up…"
"It turned out to be a positive experience. He handled it effectively."
Rossi and Lorenzo famously erected a barrier in their garage to conceal information from one another while fiercely competing for the MotoGP championship.
"Valentino holds a unique and cherished position in my heart," Brivio expressed.
"We achieved four championships and accomplished numerous tasks as a team, but most importantly, we truly enjoyed ourselves."
