The atmosphere is definitely special at Yamaha in MotoGP. The box of Vinales imploded and even though the general-in-chief Lynn Jarvis tries to regain control of his troops by imposing on them communication reduced to the strict minimum, the words still flow. And leaves a serious doubt about the involvement of the Iwata factory... Valentino Rossi in the text !
Mobilized at all times, hard worker, Valentino Rossi is all that and it is he who still keeps the Yamaha boat afloat as best he can. But we must not hide our faces either. The Doctor does things well and also knows how to say them. On the situation within the brand in tune, he takes an uncompromising look at the situation on speedweek :
« In my opinion, the question is to assess Yamaha's real desire to win. How much do they want to win again in MotoGP, and how much money are they willing to invest to get there? My impression is that both Honda and Ducati have given themselves more resources than Yamaha in recent times. We see it with their testing team, with the number of people working on the electronics, the number of people there on the races. I would like to see Yamaha fully mobilized, because Yamaha lacks nothing. There is no lack of skills or resources ».
And he gives an indication: “ I remember the time when the Yamaha General Manager was Masao Furusawa. He had helped me a lot. We talked a lot. We tried original things. He was always open and ready. Sometimes we need people who take risks. It's never easy to take it, it's true ».
