Yamaha goes aggressive with aero development ahead of 2025 as it seeks to close the gap to the front
Yamaha turned heads in Tuesday’s official MotoGP test in Barcelona as it introduced a significantly overhauled version of the M1. As the Japanese manufacturer revealed, further improvements have been made to the chassis, engine and aerodynamics on the back of some promising updates at the end of the season. The most striking and macroscopic change was the new front end, including a complete redesign of the wing that it raced in the latter part of the season.

Interestingly, the engine air intake, which previously rested on the second spoiler, now features two carbon supports that extend to the first element and act as airflow carriers.
