Fabio Quartararo highlighted Yamaha’s strong one-lap pace but admitted the V4 reaches its limit quickly in races. “You cannot push. You are just sliding,” he said, citing zero grip, poor turning, and heavy bike feel at Assen. Despite arm pump issues, he fought to 8th place. The result shows flashes of potential but underscores ongoing race-trim struggles as Yamaha prepares for the 850cc era.
