In their effort to improve and regain lost competitiveness in recent years, Monster Energy Yamaha has been hiring several members lately. One of them is Max Bartolini, who is at the same level as the project leader.
Fabio Quartararo, the only rider from the team transitioning from 2023, already feels a positive impact from the new member. His teammate Álex Rins was also asked about Bartolini, and in response, he stated:
– My opinion is that he is a really talented guy. He has a lot of experience coming from the «Red Gang» [Ducati], and he’s so smart. He already changed something on the team. I’m not the guy who needs to say because last year I wasn’t on Yamaha. But for what I talk with the mechanics and engineers, it looks like he’s changing a little bit the things, the way of work.
