We must say things as they are: the Yamaha building is cracking in MotoGP. The lack of results has a power of corrosion which should not be taken lightly and the house of Iwata owes only to its solid foundations made in Valentino Rossi so as not to collapse on itself. However, she is shaken by the implosion observed in the box of Vinales, angry with his chief engineer and part of his dedicated team. But what does Grand Chef Lin Jarvis think?
Lynn Jarvis is the highest Yamaha representative in the MotoGP paddock. And it is clear that he is going through an internal crisis of a magnitude never seen before. To the point that in Brno, during the Saturday debriefings, his pilot Vinales had his speech muzzled, with the ban on speaking about his relationship with Ramón Forcada, his liege man who learned that he would be replaced at the end of this year in his functions.
On this tense situation, the general in chief comments on crash.net : " It's always easier to work in an environment where you play and know how to win. There is no doubt about it. When you win, everything is fine. Even the negative things are assimilated, because you still win. So of course our current situation puts everyone under pressure. On the team, on the riders, on the engineers who have to develop the bike ».
Then he becomes more precise: “ I don't design the bike, I don't develop it either. You could fire me and it wouldn't change the situation. But we all want the same thing: to win. We need to win because that’s what we’re here for. Our partner, our fans, Yamaha Motors want to win ».
But unfortunately, this no longer happens and given the latest tests carried out in Brno, the shortage is likely to continue. And push executives to look elsewhere. Ramón Forcada et Wilco Zeelenberg would thus be in the running to try the adventure of the Petronas satellite team… “ This may sound strange, but I've never asked anyone to work with me. If a better opportunity for your career presents itself, then you should grab it. This is what you should always do in life. The worst thing would be to hold someone against their interests. This never works in the long run. And it doesn't help improve relationships ».
