Lin Jarvis was only able to enjoy for a short moment the joy of seeing the drivers' title return to one of his own in MotoGP. A moment that had not been celebrated since 2015 with Jorge Lorenzo. But from the following Grand Prix, in Portimao, the results of the new World Champion Fabio Quartararo were less exciting, a relative discretion which continued until the close of the debates. Behind the scenes, the subject of 2023 where “everything is open” was launched while requests for technical developments came from the Frenchman's box. The Englishman has understood the messages well, and he also has his own.
What is certain is that, at Yamaha we at least agree on one thing: we want to do as well in 2022 as in 2021. Which will open up the horizon to 2023. However, it remains to be determined how, and at what pace. Lynn Jarvis, the conductor in the Iwata factory team stand has a few burning issues that will undoubtedly occupy him this winter: the development of the 2022 Yamaha, the renewal of the Yamaha XNUMX contract, fabio quartararo, the new lease with Razlan Razali, with which will evolve Andrea Dovizioso. Among other things…
Exactly, Andrea Dovizioso…The former three-time world vice-champion with Ducati, aged 35, trained in five Grands Prix with the M1. He recognizes that he still has to get his bearings and that he is still not at the level of fabio quartararo. For the Italian, the reason is simple: the Frenchman was formed and revealed with Yamaha only, which created a constant man-machine complicity. But Dovi, in 2022, will have his say. Moreover, it is even an instruction to Lin Jarvis who declared on motogp.com : " Dovi has joined us and this is a new opportunity for him to return to the championship. It's great for him, I think ».
Lin Jarvis: “ I think we will see the real return of Dovi next season«
The executive director of Yamaha Motor Racing adds: “ Dovi has often been second in the championship in recent years. He started on the old bike, let's call it the slow bike, but next year he will be on the 2022 spec and I think the experience he gets this year will put him in a better position ». Lin Jarvis finished : " I think we will see the real return of Dovi next season. He is one of the most experienced on the grid. I think he can bring a lot of stability to his team and that he will develop the Yamaha factory 2022 well ».
He will therefore bring his voice to this sensitive subject. Is he on the same wavelength as fabio quartararo ? We will recall his technical feelings about the M1: “ in my opinion, you need more grip than engine, which is quite obvious for all Yamaha ". We will see everything that happens as soon as the protagonists return to the track. It will be for February 6 at Sepang. But for the 2022 season, it is Razlan Razali which sets the tone: “ Andrea has a lot to demonstrate. I think next year he will want to go. Otherwise, I don't see why he would have come back ».
