A few more notes from Barcelona. About Maverick Viñales' tyre pressure, the misery of Honda, Quartararo going backwards, and how the Misano test may determine Marc Marquez' future, but in a different way than you think.

After @akyranishimura's excellent interview with Honda's Koji Watanabe, now it is my turn, with a long interview with Yamaha's Lin Jarvis.

In part 1, Jarvis explains why Yamaha chose Alex Rins over Franco Morbidelli, and why the Japanese factories are so far behind in MotoGP.

Part 2, on concessions and a satellite team, tomorrow.

Fabio Quartararo has had surgery to fix the toe he broke running in Amsterdam. He chose to have it pinned so he can get back to training ASAP

Fabio Quartararo confirms the split with manager Eric Mahé, and says he will be managing himself going forward.

The engine configuration and peak horsepower are the least of Yamaha's problems.

The bike is the opposite of what it was, it's nervous and responds aggressively to any rider inputs. They are in trouble.

Fabio Quartararo confident. They went back to basically the 2022 bike with a 2023 engine, and it worked really well. Feels he can fight for the championship.
