Lin Jarvis will have work to do to boost the morale of his troops from the next Grand Prix in France, in a little over a week. Indeed, at the end of the Barcelona campaign, its pilots have low morale. Both Valentino Rossi and Maverick Viñales, its two drivers, proclaim to anyone who will listen that their chances of a world title for this year were reduced to nothing in Catalonia. Yamaha's opportunities would therefore only rest with its satellite team Petronas. Who, by the way, leads with four victories to one against the Iwata factory structure…

In a season where the schedule is so tight and shorter than expected, they end up being decisive”.
« The rankings are tight, but now I'm cut off from the fight for the title. I can only consider the World Championship finished, at least as far as the most important goal is concerned, but I still want to do everything possible to experience other satisfactions » concludes the one who will be under the Petronas colors in 2021.
