“This new engine is supposed to help going into the corner, and is supposed to help in top speed.”
Alex Rins benefitted from a new specification of Yamaha MotoGP engine in Malaysia to qualify directly for Q2.
“Today we got a lot of information,” Rins said. “They bring a new engine, the base is a little bit different, so we need time to analyse — which bike, because only one engine, so we change in which bike it was going better or not. Rins’ second bike had a different setting based on one he’d wanted to try on Sunday in Buriram, but was unable to test in dry conditions there due to the rain.
“But, overall, our pace is not so good, but we are in Q2, so this gave us margin to improve the bike for tomorrow.”
