Yamaha's new engine broke during Malaysian MotoGP practice
Fabio Quartararo says the new engine on his Yamaha MotoGP bike encountered an issue in MotoGP Malaysian Grand Prix practice and won’t be used for the rest of the weekend.
“I don’t know if it’s broken or not, but at least it stopped on the straight and we could not fix it for this weekend.”Team-mate Alex Rins did use the new engine all day and was eighth, marking the first time both Yamaha riders have made direct passage to Q2 since the Portuguese GP back in March. “So, to be honest, since Thailand, but really we are changing today the way of managing the electronics, which for me we are still with the old base but like usual, like Yamaha back in the day,” he explained.“Myself, it’s difficult to adapt because we changed a lot on the electronics and I still have to remember a few things because we are controlling the bike much less.He added: “We have been talking for a long time, but really never made the step because it’s quite big.
