    Naughty Yamaha

    So, Yamaha have been caught swapping the defective valves in their engines for all riders.... Details are still emerging, no-one seems to be 100% clear on exactly when/how this has happened. The best I can tell, the designs for the engine were supplied for homologation (along with a sample...

    Yamaha Management

    What if Yamaha's problem is financial?

    Hello guys. Before you hear me out on this one, please note it is another bar chat, by this I mean I do not have any infos nor sources that gave me any hints about it. These are just my 2 cents, developed directly from my IKEA couch. What if Yamaha's real current issue is money? Let me...

    Yamaha - weird events

    Looking back. Vinales did good, became #1 rider in the team. Then suddenly faded, nobody knows why. Then Zarco. For some time it did look like he is going to be #1 Yamaha rider. He almost won once, just his factory-crippled bike could not compete with factory Honda of Crutchlow in the...

    VDS: Yamaha or Suzuki?

    If you're the team owner, who do you sign with? Under the current climate of Tech3 severing ties with Yamaha over support, and the looming reality that VR already been granted a grid spot if he wants his team. Combined with the prospect of Suzuki having Lorenzo available to sign, with perhaps...

    How to make Yamaha great again.

    Ok Yamaha are up .... creek. Its their own contractual thinking that has got them in this bind. Yamaha was once one of the two prime teams in GP but not any longer. Its not the bike .... Zarco proves that. Vinales started too but that was nipped in the bud pretty quick. Im thinking to...

    Yamaha made offer to Marquez ?

    According to this ,Yamaha offered Marquez a blank check and a promise that if he accepted, Rossi would not be re- signed. Marquez turned down offer out of respect for Rossi and still felt he owed Honda his services for everything they have done for his career. I’m not buying it but anything is...

    Rossi's team would get Yamaha satellite priority over Tech 3
