Franco Morbidelli doesn't believe the Yamaha factory riders should revert to his 2019-specification M1 machinery for 2021 despite growing discontent about the 2020 bike

It might not make comfortable reading for Yamaha, but at least their 2021 factory MotoGP team line-up of Maverick Vinales and Fabio Quartararo are in agreement.

After pinballing up and down the MotoGP results all year, Maverick Vinales is now in no doubt that "we made a mistake" when selecting the 2020 Factory-spec Yamaha: "Last year's bike was more competitive in all the tracks, not only a few."

Franco Morbidelli's first priority for this weekend's Valencia MotoGP is to find a cure for the front tyre pressure issues that wrecked his chances at the same track last Sunday.

Yamaha's six MotoGP race victories this season matches the total of all other manufacturers combined (two each for Suzuki, Ducati and KTM).

Finishing 13th after a pitlane start at Valencia, combined with victory for Suzuki's Joan Mir, means the MotoGP title is now out of Maverick Vinales control.

Fabio Quartararo still has a mathematical chance of winning the 2020 MotoGP World Championship, that he led for so long.

Maverick Vinales may only be 19 points from the top of the MotoGP standings, but he fears the 2020 season will be another lost title opportunity, as a combination of setbacks take their toll on the factory Yamaha rider with three races to go.
