New frames for Yamaha riders in Assen

Yamaha will race at this weekend’s Dutch TT with one new chassis available for both Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo. The new chassis, as revealed in today’s MCN, was developed to improve the corner entry performance of the YZR-M1 with better stability under braking.

At the post Catalan Grand Prix test both riders had the new chassis available to them but the rain showers meant that they were unable to test the new frame.
