Is Yamaha deciding too quickly on its riders?

Lin Jarvis, who has been Yamaha's man on the ground in Ghent Prix for 20 years now, made a surprising admission on the eve of these 2021 holidays. As he approaches his 65th birthday, he openly said he was tired of past seasons and in particular the last two marked by three events that he clearly identifies as grueling. Fortunately, Fabio Quartararo's title this season has given him a boost which, however, will give him limited momentum. The Englishman thus sees the moment to hand over the reins. However, he will need all his energy and concentration to face the transfer market for 2023, with the challenge of keeping the first French MotoGP World Champion in the ranks of the Iwata manufacturer...

But good results are crucial. I'm 64 and I have three or four years left, I think. My goal is to get ten titles. I'd like to celebrate two more titles then retire He says.

Lynn Jarvis lived through four titles with Valentino Rossi, three with Jorge Lorenzo and, therefore, the latest with Fabio Quartararo. The Englishman wants to reach ten coronations, as the Doctor also ardently wished, but we know that he had to resign himself to a score of nine. Considering the last few seasons, it's good fabio quartararo who could, alone, offer him this satisfaction, but we will still have to go into battle to keep him after 2022. Lynn Jarvis will he still have this energy to achieve this end, when he describes himself as seriously eroded by the weight of his responsibilities?
