Just three races ago, a package of changes introduced for the Barcelona race appeared to have transformed the pace of the W13.

Reigning world champion Quartararo – who announced he’d re-signed with Yamaha for two more years last Thursday – ended Friday’s practice “worried” about how the low grip at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was affecting the Yamaha.
