counterparts over the weekend:
17th for Miller, 21st for Razgatlio-
glu. Despite being on the initial
entry list, test rider Augusto
Fernandez didn't head out.
"We tested many, many things
today: chassis, swingarm, elec-
tronics, aero," Quatararo said.
"We
already tried the chassis
during the race weekend, but I
tested a lot of aeros today, and
I think the last one that I used
was the most positive. For some
things, we still need to figure out
how to further improve them, but
it looks like we did find a bit of
front feeling today with the setup
and the aero. This is helpful to
me, so I can assess where the
limit is. Let's see what the team
will bring for Le Mans."
There was plenty of working
going on in the Prima Pramac
Yamaha MotoGP outfit too, with
Jack Miller leaving Jerez with
the upper hand in that camp. He
worked on improving the front
feel of his machine. Teammate
Toprak Razgatlioglu had a crash
at Turn 3 in the morning but was
otherwise okay as he continued
to try and adapt his riding style.
Electronic work to improve engine
braking was on his agenda, while

Fabio Quartararo
left the Jerez test
on a positive note,
heading into his home
MotoGP at LeMans.
Fernandez didn't head out.
"We had a lot of items to test
today, and it's a shame about
the small crash because it cost
us around an hour of track time,"
Razgatlioglu said. "It wasn't any
-
thing serious, just a mistake, but at
this
stage, every lap is important.
"We worked through several
things, especially on the electron
-
ics, which is an area where I still
need to
improve my understand-
ing and where we also need to
make progress
with the bike. I fo-
cused a lot on that today to give
as
much feedback as possible to
the engineers."

Throughout
