Lin Jarvis to step down as Yamaha MotoGP team boss at the end of 2024
Lin Jarvis, who is 66 years old, has been leading Yamaha’s racing division for the past 26 years. As Yamaha’s team boss, he played a crucial role in revitalizing the company in the mid-2000s. Collaborating with Davide Brivio, they successfully persuaded Valentino Rossi to join the project in 2004, leading to multiple championship wins for Yamaha. After Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo continued the success with three championship titles. Yamaha faced a brief period of dominance by Marc Marquez before Fabio Quartararo reclaimed the crown in 2021. Jarvis recently secured a contract renewal with Quartararo and is now focusing on re-establishing Yamaha’s satellite structure. Jarvis announced that this will be his final season at Yamaha and he is looking forward to exploring new opportunities after dedicating 26 years to the factory team. His successor is likely to be Paolo Pavessio, who is closely connected with Yamaha’s racing activities.
