“That was my dream, to try to get to 10 titles”

Lin Jarvis has confirmed he will leave his role as Yamaha MotoGP team boss after 2024.

Yamaha boss Lin Jarvis admits their plan is to keep Fabio Quartararo beyond his current deal, which was signed just last week.

Massimo Bartolini has moved from Ducati to Yamaha to take on the new role of ‘Technical Director, MotoGP operations’ for the struggling M1 project.

Kenan Sofuoglu has given his views on where Toprak Razgatlioglu could ride in 2024, and why his preference is for the 2021 WorldSBK champion not to join MotoGP.

Whether it’s MotoGP or WorldSBK Yamaha are hoping to keep hold of Toprak Razgatlioglu, with the 2021 Superbike champion’s contract set to end after this season.

Toprak Razgatlioglu may have been given his second runout on a Yamaha MotoGP bike, however, a lack of speed and adaption from WorldSBK to MotoGP are concerns that persist, all of which could mean a delayed move to Grand Prix racing, again.

Has Toprak Razgatlioglu’s dreams of becoming a MotoGP rider become clearer after his latest two-day test aboard an M1 at Jerez?

Keith Huewen believes Valentino Rossi and his Mooney VR46 team are in the perfect situation with Ducati in MotoGP, but is there a way for Yamaha to slide through the door and poach his team away from the Italian manufacturer?

If Yamaha can overcome some ‘obstacles’ there is a chance it could have a new satellite MotoGP team in place for 2024.

Franco Morbidelli says Toprak Razgatlioglu replacing him at the factory Yamaha MotoGP team were ‘comments and the desire of Yamaha fans’, but that he never felt at risk of losing his seat.

From Brno 2020 to Jerez 2021, Franco Morbidelli stood on the MotoGP podium six times in 16 races, including three victories on his way to title runner-up in the shortened 'Covid' season.

Although reluctant to directly compare Fabio Quartararo with the likes of Casey Stoner and Valentino Rossi, Yamaha Racing managing director Lin Jarvis has no doubt that the Frenchman is an ‘extraordinary and exceptional’ MotoGP talent.

Fabio Quartararo may have won the 2021 MotoGP title, but by the second half of that season he was pleading for more engine performance to counter the formidable Ducati challenge in 2022.

Unforeseen from anyone before the start of the season, but 2022 aboard the factory Yamaha has turned out to be Franco Morbidelli’s worst season in MotoGP, which is a seat that could have been occupied by WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu.

WorldSBK champion Toprak Razgatlioglu will test a MotoGP bike for the first time as part of a private one-day test with Yamaha in June.

How big an impact will the retirement of Valentino Rossi have on the MotoGP World Championship?

Yamaha's Lin Jarvis reflects on a roller-coaster 2021 MotoGP season that brought title glory for Fabio Quartararo but also a shock split from team-mate Maverick Vinales and tough final campaign for Valentino Rossi.

Yamaha Managing Director, Lin Jarvis, calls Fabio Quartararo a ‘really deserving champion’ after the Frenchman clinched the Japanese manufacturers first title since 2015.

Franco Morbidelli says ‘frank’ conversations have taken place with Yamaha Managing Director Lin Jarvis regarding two-year old M1 spec bike; ‘I told him my thoughts about the situation and I was really frank with him’.

Valentino Rossi says his one-year Petronas SRT Yamaha deal for 2021 MotoGP seaso isn't a sign he is retiring, reveals he'd have only accepted Yamaha reshuffe so long as he still had factorty M1

Yamaha ‘didn’t feel strongly’ enough about Ducati’s swingarm device to join MotoGP’s four other factories in protesting the FIM’s decision to the Court of the Appeals, according to Managing Director Lin Jarvis.

Yamaha’s Lin Jarvis has explained the thinking behind the factory’s winter of reorganisation, stating a “reset” was necessary after the fallow years of 2017 and ‘18, with those effects already being felt two rounds into the season.

Despite its recent upturn in results, Yamaha is planning an internal shake up of its MotoGP project, which will include the hiring of more engineers both from within the factory and from outside, as well as “a change in how we fix problems” after a largely difficult 2018.
