After the surprise news that Yamaha decided to suspend testing at the Sepang MotoGP test due to a technical issue with their new V4 machine, Technical Director Max Bartolini spoke to the media at Sepang. Bartolini was interviewed by Dorna, then spoke to assembled journalists.
The extremely unusual decision to stop testing was taken after Fabio Quartararo stopped on track on Tuesday toward the end of the day. Identifying the cause of the problem had led Yamaha racing in Japan to decide to suspend their testing program until they can figure out a solution, or a way of continuing to run the engine safely.
