Lin Jarvis has explained why Yamaha made the decision to replace Franco Morbidelli with Alex Rins.
Morbidelli is currently without a seat in the 2024 MotoGP rider line-up after Yamaha confirmed their intention to get rid of him, in favour of current LCR Honda rider Rins.
Yamaha managing director Lin Jarvis, who has overseen glory for Valentino Rossi, Jorge Lorenzo and Fabio Quartararo but is now presiding over an underachieving team, detailed the decision-making process.“It was the team’s decision to make a change,” he said. “In my personal feeling, that is something that the team didn’t have to do, but decided to do.“If you’re not able to extract the level of performance as a rider, sometimes changing the scene can be good for the rider as well as the team.
