Lin Jarvis to step down as Yamaha MotoGP team boss at the end of 2024
Lin Jarvis, a key figure in Yamaha’s racing division, has been leading the team for 26 years and played a crucial role in reviving the company in the mid-2000s. Under his leadership, Yamaha secured several titles, including with Valentino Rossi in 2004, 2005, 2008, and 2009, and later with Jorge Lorenzo in 2010, 2012, and 2015. After a dominant period for Marc Marquez and Honda, Fabio Quartararo reclaimed the championship for Yamaha in 2021, marking the eighth world title for Yamaha under Jarvis. Jarvis recently announced that he will be stepping down at the end of the year, signaling a new chapter for Yamaha’s racing division. The likely successor to Jarvis’s position is believed to be Paolo Pavessio, Yamaha Europe’s marketing and racing department director, with an official announcement expected soon.
