Yamaha MotoGP Test Sepang 2017 – Yamaha completed two days of private testing in Sepang, thus finishing the 2017 tests.

Valentino Rossi, Maverick Vinales, Johann Zarco and Kohta Nozane took to the track (replacing Jonas Folger, still struggling with mononucleosis), with Zarco having also worked closely with the factory team in Valencia.

The three absent at Jerez de la Frontera, as well as the Honda Repsol riders, worked on the specification of the 2018 engine and now the house of the Three tuning forks will focus on the choice of the chassis, which has given many "problems" especially to the official riders.

“At Sepang we focused on testing different engines and once we have decided on the specifications, we will work on the new chassis.” – a Yamaha source told Autosport.

Rossi and Vinales had four different bikes at their disposal (see photo), while Zarco had two specifications.

Of these, at least one from 2016 (seat truncated for the rear light) and 2017 (pointed saddle), with a comparison that was intended to identify the best solution for 2018.

Alex Briggs, Valentino Rossi's mechanic, wrote on Twitter: “The garage looked like a spare parts shop for the M1. There was something for everyone. Today (yesterday, ed.) was a great day of testing. Many laps in the dry and some in the afternoon in the wet, as we hoped.”

Maverick Vinales seems to be satisfied judging by this tweet:

    From the drivers' statements, the 2018 engine seems to have satisfied everyone, but the two officials are still unable to comment on which chassis is better.

    1. ueueue said:

      well it will definitely be Rossi's fault..

      and if they choose one it will be Rossi's fault..

      if it goes wrong it will be Rossi's fault..

      if Maverik wins it's because he didn't listen to Rossi..

      if fatman says "pluf" every time it's Rossi's fault..

      if so many people get angry here it's Rossi's fault..

      Great Vale!

      1. ueueue said:

        and if Vele wins well..

        that's rubber for you..

        ghee tea rut lè balè!

        Do you see why idiots like you are necessarily insulted??
        Have I perhaps spoken badly of Rossi?
        You have the enormous fortune of not understanding shit, instead of exploiting it to live blissfully in your stupidity, you gnaw like a beast always and in any case.
        Learn to read before writing bullshit, piciu!

        In this case you didn't speak badly of Rossi, now I don't remember if you associated yourself with the other 3-4 usual ones so you maintain that Rossi was right for the 2017 chassis or did Yamaha fail because of Rossi who wanted to modify it?

        Without words??? Ah…

  • TONYKART said:

    even if yamaha declares that it is waiting for rossi's decision, I have the impression that they would immediately want zarco together with maverick..

  • ueueue said:

    Dear Vds, I don't think I've ever said anything towards you

    Then a

    Vattelapijanderculo and then from the height of your intelligence..

    (ps others have to tell you.. it doesn't apply if you think you are intelligent.. then write and remove all doubts)

    … Go ahead and catch it another time
