Misano tests are one of those tests in which, what is not seen, can have much more value than yes, and that go farther than what the time table says. A time table that Pedro Acosta has dominated, with solvency, thanks to the time he got in the second training session, Sy that made him more than three tenths faster than Álex Márquez and Marco Bezzecchi.
But the important thing about these tests is not so much or not that it was Acosta, which lowered nine tenths quickly the race, but it stayed to a little less than two of Saturday’s pole, but the work between scenes that took the teams and the pilots.
That job, starting with Acosta with KTM, can go in two directions. On the one hand, there are those who seek to take a step forward in the remainder of the season and strengthen sensations, such as the Austrians who were working in stubborn and testing some elements, especially in the hands of Dani Pedrosa as a brand test pilot.
On that same side are also Aprilia and Ducati, seeking to refine in the case of Bezzecchi or Marc Márquez, or finding the way in the case of Bagnaia, which continues with multiple problems and that even did evidence between aerodynamics of 2024 and chassis 2025. Among the middle we also have Martín, who follows its adaptation to the motorcycle and that was working on the setting and configuration.
The expectations in the Misano test were set on the yamaha m1 v4 performance
But then we have two brands, Yamaha and Honda, who continue to think not so much about the performance of 2025 and in 2026. In that sense, perhaps Honda does focus more on short -term performance, because they are increasingly competitive and they do not need a great leap, but adjust details. In this case and without Joan Mir, he could not participate due to the pains he suffers after the fall during the San Marino GP, Marini tested an updated chassis and a different aerodynamics.
If we talk about Yamaha, it is where the views set in 2026. The four pilots of the brand were testing the New Yamaha M1 V4. At first it was expected to be Quartararo and maybe Miller, but finally Rins was around with her. The results in terms of rapid refers, have not been dazzling, but from Yamaha they seem satisfied with the project.
Keep in mind that pilots have to get to know the motorcycle to be able to get the entire game and also focus on looking for quick turns at the beginning of such an important project you can false data. Thus, as we said at the beginning, it is more what has not been seen that what we have seen. And in the end, like the most seasoned trileros, you have to prevent the rest from seeing where the ball is at this time …
