I don't think Yamaha has done anything special this year. They gambled on the tire choice for this race, and it paid off. Actually, I'm sure they had good data, so it really wasn't a gamble.
YourGay is nowhere to be seen, so its not the Yamaha. When MM the Magnificent came on the scene, he did stuff nobody else was doing. VR, being the smart old dog that he is, learned and re-taught himself how to ride. Its paying off for him now. I have no idea what it is, but it appears to be related to setting the bike up mid-corner for the exit, where the power is applied most effectively.
