The obstacles Yamaha has to overcome to have a satellite MotoGP team in 2025
After 26 seasons leading Yamaha, Lin Jarvis shared that 2024 will be his final year as the most senior executive. He secured Fabio Quartararo until 2026, aiming now to regain the satellite team relinquished in 2022. Having just two M1s on the grid poses a challenge in bike data analysis and performance. Jarvis aims to convince an independent team to switch to Yamaha but faces hurdles due to Ducati’s recent successes. VR46 seemed a potential alliance, but they are leaning towards extending with Ducati, leaving Yamaha focusing on Pramac as a recruitment target. Despite challenges, Jarvis remains hopeful for a Yamaha satellite team in 2025, emphasizing the importance of a competitive bike for success in MotoGP. Valuable insights into the intricate negotiations and strategic planning to navigate the rapidly evolving MotoGP landscape were shared in a recent chat with Motorsport.com.
