Cal Crutchlow has completed a private test at Motegi, the same track where he will make a wild-card entry for Yamaha in the factory’s home Japanese MotoGP.
However, Monster Yamaha's former MotoGP champion Fabio Quartararo played down the chances of a major breakthrough from the wild-card alone.
“Well, it’s just a wild-card,” he said. “I don’t think it will be a big turning point for us. Cal is doing tests. But hopefully it’s true and it can be a turning point." Yamaha were coy on the itinerary for Crutchlow’s latest test, saying only that the ‘YAMALUBE RS4GP Racing Team made their first steps towards their mission to accelerate bike development.’
Quartararo and team-mate Franco Morbidelli homologated a new fairing design at Silverstone last weekend, which the Frenchman intends to continue with at the Red Bull Ring.
