Developing the 2021 Yamaha R1 for WorldSBK
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Five Yamaha R1 race bikes will take to the track at #motorlandaragon tomorrow morning for the first #worldsbk race weekend of the 2021 season. While everyone is happy to resume #racing after such a long winter break, there is some apprehension too. While preseason testing has been overwhelmingly positive, this weekend will provide the first real opportunity to measure fully the effectiveness of the winter development program, as the Yamaha R1 goes up against its rivals at a race for the first time this season.
But what does it take to develop the Yamaha R1 into a race-winning #worldsbk machine? It certainly takes teamwork, with everyone from Yamaha's engineers, the team crew chiefs, the mechanics and the five riders having worked tirelessly during preseason testing.
"Preseason testing isn't just about the individual riders going as fast as possible, or teams working flat out to chase the best possible lap time, it's also about developing the Yamaha R1 into the most competitive #worldsbk package possible," explains Yamaha Motor Europe Road #racing Manager, #andreadosoli.
The development process actually starts at the end of the preceding season, with feedback from both teams and riders gathered during post-season testing in Spain.
"We had a successful test in November in Jerez with all the four riders and we got from them very important feedback their request. We then took this information back to our headquarters at YMRE and started to implement this feedback and these requests into our development program," continues Dosoli.
"The development program needs to keep in mind several points. One point is resources, such as manpower and internal budget. Another is the timing, what we would like to introduce and when. We are developing a race bike starting from a production-based machine, so we also need to keep in mind the technical regulations and how they are likely to change. Finally, we need to understand where Pirelli, the official tyre supplier for #worldsbk, are going in terms of development direction."
"The responsibility of YMRE is to develop a #racing bike starting from a production machine like the R3, the R6 or, in this case the R1, and then deliver the development parts to each of the three Yamaha race teams in #worldsbk," concluded Dosoli.
Once the development parts are delivered to the Pata Yamaha with Brixx, GRT Yamaha and Alstare Yamaha #worldsbk teams it's the responsibility of the five crew chiefs to assess the effectiveness of each upgrade and its impact on the overall performance of the Yamaha R1 machines they'll race for the first time this weekend.
