The team held a launch event in Madrid on Wednesday morning to show off an altered colour scheme including more prominence for title sponsor Movistar. Yamaha's riders have lost the title to Honda man Marc Marquez for the past two seasons, and were left reeling when Marquez won 10 straight grands prix at the start of 2014. Kouichi Tsuji, group leader of Yamaha's MotoGP programme, said the margin between the two teams was smaller than results suggested, and that though there was limited scope for big steps, his team had made significant progress. "We had second on the podium 10 times, and eight times the difference from the winner was two seconds after a 120km [75-mile] race," he said. "The development room with the bike is very small, but we did many things to try to find those two seconds in the races because we want a champion at the end of the season." Team boss Lin Jarvis said Yamaha had the riders and technical package it required to take on Marquez and Honda this year. "You have to learn from your mistakes and to continue to develop and evolve," he said. "We have to get everything right. Everything has to be perfect from the first race. "That's a difficult call, but I think our riders are well prepared and our team are well organised. We're ready to go. "I think both Valentino and Jorge are in great shape physically and mentally. "Last year Marquez had a phenomenal year, so we know the level of competition will be super-super-strong, but we have the riders we want. "I'm totally confident they will go out there and be competitive and win many, many races." LORENZO HAS ADDRESSED FITNESS After running Marquez close for the 2013 title, Lorenzo had an awful start to the '14 campaign with a series of early mistakes quickly dropping him out of championship contention. He admitted during the year that he had not been in proper physical condition for the start of the year following winter surgery to address 2013 injuries, but is adamant he is now in much better shape. "Maybe last year I took a little too much holiday and made a few mistakes in planning pre-competition," said Lorenzo. "This year I'm not going to make this mistake and I'm going to be in better shape. "I feel very good - I'm thin, just like when I was 20. There's no way to measure one's physical capacity, but you get certain feelings and I've never trained so hard or for so many hours. "Everything was very well planned. I'm working on those weak points from last year."

Valentino Rossi shone as a special guest at the 23rd edition of the Goodwood Festival of Speed. After a stunning race at the TT Assen Circuit yesterday, where Valentino Rossi won his third race this season, the Movistar Yamaha MotoGP rider made his first ever appearance at the prestigious Goodwood Festival of Speed, which carried a theme of nostalgia and pride in the growing interest in motorsport, as Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. took the occasion to celebrate its 60th anniversary. The nine-time World Champion was specially invited by Lord March to make his debut at this famous event as a guest star. Rossi traveled straight from the Dutch GP to the UK to be able to attend the event, where he was accompanied by Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd Executive Vice President, Takaaki Kimura, Yamaha Motor Europe President, Kazuhiro Kuwata, YMC Motorsports Division's General Manager, Kouichi Tsuji and Yamaha Motor Racing Managing Director, Lin Jarvis. They had the pleasure of joining a star studded guest list including numerous famous sportsmen, celebrities and VIPs, for a gala dinner and ball on the Saturday evening at Lord Marchs grand estate, before the action started the morning after. Sunday kicked off with Rossi, Lord March, Kimura-san, Kuwata-san, Tsuji-san and Jarvis revealing the Doctors Yamaha YZR-M1, equipped with a special livery, in Yamahas display area in the F1 Paddock. The yellow and retro styled bike commemorates Yamaha Motors 60th anniversary and the ceremony was completed by motorsport legends Kenny Roberts, Giacomo Agostini and Phil Read taking part in this celebration of Yamahas supreme racing heritage. Rossis yellow bike was in good company at the Yamaha exhibition; other iconic show bikes on display were Phil Reads 1965 RD56, Giacomo Agostinis 1975 YZR500 OW23 and Kenny Robertss 1978 YZR750 OW31. The unveiling of Rossis bike was followed by the Doctor delighting thousands of spectators when he rode up and down the Hillclimb in the yellow livery at 1140 am. The special colour scheme of his YZR-M1 was similar to the one he and Colin Edwards sported ten years ago when they marked Yamahas 50th anniversary at the Raceway Laguna Seca with a double podium. After the thrilling ride, involving a 300ft rise, there was more excitement waiting. Rossi was interviewed by Goodwood TV on the balcony of Lord Marchs mansion before joining the host and Formula 1 rider Nico Rosberg for lunch. The Italian concluded his first Goodwood experience by honouring this years theme of the Goodwoord event, âFlat-Out and Fearless Racing on the Edge. He fully enjoyed riding in a historical Le Mans-winner as well as a rally car, before heading home to prepare himself for the Grand Prix in Germany, to be held in two weeks time.
