Yamaha is doubling down on innovation with a one-day private test on Wednesday (19\/11\/2025) at the Circuit Ricardo Tormo, following the official Valencia MotoGP test. Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP and Prima Pramac Yamaha have stayed behind while most teams packed up, using this extra day to fine-tune their radical new V4 engine before the winter break.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The additional day is more than a luxury\u2014it’s a necessity. After Tuesday\u2019s sessions were hampered by a slowly drying track, Yamaha engineers and riders are determined to maximize every lap today. The goal: gather critical data that will shape the 2026 season.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Team Director, Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Massimo Meregalli highlighted the purpose behind the extended test:<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were not so much looking at performance but rather focused on gathering as much data as possible. This extra day will most likely give us the time needed to evaluate the updated parts, such as a different chassis and a different aerodynamics package, and we can also work on set-ups.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
