In the register Yamaha is looking for its future champion, Lin Jarvis seems to be very interested in Alonso Lopez whose career put in an impasse by an indelicate Max Biaggi rebounded last year thanks to Luca Boscoscuro. The Italian thus put him on one of his bikes to replace a Romano Fenati lacking performance, a wise choice for all parties since the 21-year-old Spaniard finished his cycle with five podiums and two victories. A turnaround that left no one indifferent.
We will recall for history that a certain Fabio Quartararo had also been taken out of this SpeedUp team to be enrolled in the ranks of Petronas Yamaha in MotoGP. A choice of Razlan Razali which we welcome today Lynn Jarvis. Could the scenario happen again with Alonso lopez.
This is the idea that the Spanish version of Motorsport, with a deadline for as early as 2024, but the source also specifies that this could only be possible if the tuning fork brand finds a satellite team in MotoGP. Which is far from being done since the hope of seeing the VR46 coat of arms integrated into its M1 box is still wishful thinking. And for good reason: who today would exchange the prey Ducati for the shadow Yamaha? And all the more so that Valentino Rossi has a contract with the Borgo Panigale brand until the end of 2024.

Lin Jarvis works on succession at Yamaha
But all the same, the interest of Lynn Jarvis would be there and the latter vaguely commented on the situation: “ we all know how this world works. My job also consists of knowing the alternatives offered by the market. This goes for pilots, engineers, etc. and in the case of drivers I think I can get a good idea and available options ».
Yamaha only fields its two official motorcycles in MotoGP and one is locked by the 2021 World Champion fabio quartararo. The other is brought into play since Franco Morbidelli, 28, is in the walls of Iwata until the end of 2023. While waiting for the season to launch in Portimao on March 26, it is nothing to say that the Italian-Brazilian has not convinced his employers on its ability to help the M1 Grand Prix project.
We will remember that George Martin made a call with his foot in the direction of the tuning fork brand which also has among its pilots a certain Toprak Razgatlioglu, 2021 WSBK world champion with the R1. To these names, we must now integrate that ofAlonso lopez, 21 years old, who will assert himself even more if he succeeds in his season in Moto2.
