It’s not certain when Yamaha will officially announce its factory squad, but the word “soon” is used repeatedly in conjunction with that announcement. Given that the next GP stop is at Indianapolis in two weeks, and that the race is a home event for Ben Spies, it’s likely we’ll here confirmation of Lorenzo and Spies there, but nothing is for certain.
“We tried a new engine which seems a little bit more powerful in general, and it has more acceleration. We also tried the possible bike for next year, the chassis, and it’s still a prototype so we don’t know clearly yet what is better or worse on it,” said Lorenzo, who completed 44 laps in total on both bikes.
