MotoGP News: Yamaha’s Real Problem in MotoGP Development | Márquez, Fabio & Pecco

Who actually decides how and when a MotoGP bike is developed? Pecco Bagnaia can't seem to get the Ducati GP26 he needs. Fabio Quartararo has been clear about what he wants from Yamaha. Jorge Martin isn't testing the new Pirelli. And with the 850cc era coming, manufacturers are already making decisions that could shape the next generation of MotoGP. But this isn't just about Pecco, Fabio or Jorge. Yamaha has admitted that problems identified years ago — including concerns raised by Valentino Rossi — were allowed to remain while the factory was still winning. Honda's success around Marc Márquez raises another question: when your best rider is winning championships, how much do those results influence the development direction? And now Ducati has its own dilemma. When riders, test riders, engineers, technical directors and factory management are all providing different information, whose voice actually carries the most weight? Because winning can make everyone believe the system is working. But what happens when the winning stops? That's what we're looking at this week on With Antone MotoGP. Data, Not Noise.
