Seen like that, 2021 still seems far away for the average biker, but for MotoGP, it's already tomorrow. At this deadline, the contracts of the top players in the category will have to be renewed. This will be an extension of the lease or a new adventure. At Yamaha, as elsewhere, we are on the lookout and we are already thinking about the strategy to adopt. But unlike other manufacturers, the in-tune brand has within it the icon Valentino Rossi who could well prove to be a blocking element…
In the upcoming negotiations for the constitution of the MotoGP starting grid for the 2021-2022 period, Yamaha does he leave with a disability called Valentino Rossi ?

For now, we have already discussed how much time it takes to develop the plan for the future. And now it's very soon, and we'll talk about it in the winter. Then we will see what plans we make.
