At Yamaha in general, and Lin Jarvis in particular, we wonder about the cases of Franco Morbidelli and Andrea Dovizioso whose performances are disappointing to say the least. And that's an understatement... Darryn Binder's situation is different. The rookie from Moto3 is linked to Razlan Razali's RNF team, a structure which has not yet had confirmation that it will still be the satellite team of the Iwata brand in 2023... In addition to all that, he We must, of course, also sign Fabio Quartararo, which is the priority file. So there is work to be done to find out what tomorrow will bring under the awning struck by the tuning forks. But Lin Jarvis is starting to have some idea about the outcome of certain options...
At Yamaha , we focus on retaining our World Champion Fabio Quartararo for 2023 and beyond. But there are also other themes to address. The case of Franco Morbidelli is normally frozen with his contract ending in 2023. The situation ofAndrea Dovizioso looks desperate given the slump into which he has fallen. And then there is this question of the satellite team. Shall we continue with Razlan Razali and RNF, where will we go with the VR46 for a resounding rapprochement with Valentino Rossi which would be a marketing dream?
We're not there with the guys from Tavullia, but Lin Jarvis is in close contact with the VR46 Riders Academy, and especially since the VR46 2022 team also runs the Team Yamaha Master Camp Moto2. However, if a gateway is set up from this starting base to MotoGP, it may not concern the riders involved who are Manuel Gonzalez et Keminth Kobo. Celestine Vietti, on the other hand… " Vietti could become an option. But I think it could also be considered by the Mooney VR46 team ", said Lynn Jarvis.

« I don't know if they have a place in the team for him. Since they have Luca Marini and Marco Bezzecchi, it might be difficult for VR46 to find a place for Vietti ". However, the man Yamaha finished : " he is definitely one of the interesting drivers ". And all the more so since he would keep the interest of sponsor WithU who supports RNF and who wants an Italian driver. Celestine Vietti would push like this Dovizioso a la retroite.
With the idea that we would therefore keep RNF at Yamaha, which would be the teammate of the potential Drive ? There too, Lynn Jarvis has his idea. It is Toprak Razgatlioglu to whom the Englishman clearly defines his options on speedweek : " Toprak will test a Yamaha MotoGP for the first time in June. I believe this will happen in Aragón. We have no place for him in the factory team. He has to try the bike first, then we will see what its performance level and speed is. Afterwards, if he wants to get into MotoGP, we can offer him our best possible place, who would be at RNF. If he decides not to, there are two options. Either Toprak rides for another team or he stays with Superbikes. It's up to him to decide ". Here is the Turkish WSBK World Champion, to say the least fixed.
