At Yamaha , we suffer in the present by regretting our recent past but to console ourselves, we talk about plans for the future. In this space-time, he is a man who occupies an essential place. No, not Lin Jarvis, head of the troops on the ground for Iwata's brand. But rather the living legend Valentino Rossi who is already much more than a driver stubbornly wanting a tenth coronation as the highlight of his prolific career...
A career that will continue at Yamaha once he leaves the handlebars of the M1. At the heart of the project of the brand struck by the tuning fork, promised as the future prime contractor of the Japanese motorcycles which will occupy its team VR46 in MotoGP, he will also be no stranger to the smooth running of the new SIC Petronas satellite structure which will make its debut among the elite in 2019.
A set built on the foundations of the Angel Nieto team which will exist elsewhere, and in particular in the two intermediate categories of the Grands Prix. Framed by Wilco Zeelenberg et Ramón Forcada, taken out of the current official environment of Vinales, this team will have two drivers: the French Fabio Quartararo and the Italian Franco Morbidelli. And that's where the Doctor comes in...
» They want to get to number one as soon as possible, they want to get results, this is a significant investment by SIC, the Malaysian government and Petronas. We will support them and we will have three top bikes on the grid that will help us develop the M1. I think with Franky Morbidelli, as a VR46 Academy driver, training and living close to Valentino Rossi, there will be a certain synergy that will definitely lead him to work with Valentino. For me it will be a good thing for everyone "
It will be noted that Lynn Jarvis don't talk about our tricolor. And for good reason, his mission will be to learn with a bike from the past season rather than trying to assert himself at the top of the table with an opus identical to that shared by the factory riders. The stage being thus set, the hardest part remains to be done: transforming all this into results: “ it will take time » recognizes the same Jarvis on Tutomotoriweb. " This team does not exist today and there will be two riders who have never ridden on a Yamaha. They will start from scratch ».
