Masao Furusawa, the man in charge of developing Yamaha's YZR-M1 into a world championship winning machine, has revealed that his main priority for the 2004 spec racer is traction control.

Masao Furusawa is a man under pressure. Many may not have heard of him, but the 52-year-old is the newly appointed head of Yamaha's MotoGP sports department - and so responsible for supplying Valentino Rossi with Honda beating equipment, and win Yamaha's first premier-class crown since 1992.
