The news of the day will therefore have been the assurance of seeing for another two years a Valentino Rossi do Grands Prix with a Yamaha. A challenge for the one who will be in his mid-2020s among the young guns and a choice within the in-tune brand which has therefore locked its horizon until the end of XNUMX since Viñales has already signed his contract. For other drivers who would like an official place, we must therefore think of something else. To start with Johann zarco which does more than well on the handlebars of an M1 stamped Tech3. The boss on the ground of Iwata's troops knows this well. To the point that he could even hold it…
And this allusion would even be the second sensation of this vigil of arms of a Qatar Grand Prix which will launch tomorrow, Friday, the 2018 vintage Grand Prix season. On Sky Sports, Lynn Jarvis thus stated: “ we will try to keep Johann Zarco with us. It's a shame to only have two bikes in the official team. And we already have Viñales and Rossi on it ».
But here’s the plan: “ we don't have a place on the factory team. But there are possibilities of providing a third official motorcycle to a rider. We are working on the subject. But first, we need to have another team ».
Car Tech3, we know, will defend the KTM colors from 2019. With factory RC16s. Did Yamaha wake up too late? Lynn Jarvis evaluates the options: we're working to find a stable and at this stage, I can't tell you who we're talking to. But we want a very high level team. We will communicate on this when the time is right. ". For the moment, it is the Marc VDS Racing Avintia and Angel Nieto Team of Aspar Martinez which are the choices to be made by Yamaha.
