Yamaha unveiled its colors for the 2021 MotoGP season

Yamaha presented the colors of the factory team MotoGP, for which they will race this year Maverick Vinales in fabio quartararo. We won’t be seeing it in the garage this year for the first time in eight years Valentina Rossi, who swapped seats with Quartararo and moved to the semi-factory team Petronas SRT.

The motorcycle and team colors are a force similar to last year, as the team’s main sponsor continues to remain Monster Energy, but the team will strive to turn over a new leaf after Rossi's departure again, and their main goal will be to correct the impression after last season, when due to large fluctuations in form in the end he finished the championship highest Franco Morbidelli on the most obsolete motorcycle specification.

Vinales finished the championship in sixth place last year, winning only one race. With the arrival of the fast Quartararo, Yamaha is expecting a better number of points and victories this year. The Frenchman started the season last year with strong form and two wins, and added another to them by the end of the year.

Both riders were quite critical of last year's motorcycle, which is not even good enough to win in the second half of the season, and Yamaha also got into a scandal last year, when they were left without points due to the use of non-homologated engine parts in the first race of the season. , but they were also plagued by the unreliability of powertrains.

This year, Vinales and Quartararo will be joined as a test and reserve racer by a former racer LCR Honda, Cal Crutchlow, who took over the role Jorge Lorenzo.

At the presentation of the team, Yamaha also confirmed that it had signed a new contract with Dorna, undertaking to will remain in the MotoGP championship at least until the end of the 2026 season, and the happy day in the camp of the Japanese team was crowned Vinales, who he got married.

Yamaha's Petronas SRT satellite team will present their colors and racing lineup February 18th.
