Yamaha Chances Of Not Having A Satellite Team Until 2024, Lin Jarvis: In This World You Never Know

JAKARTA - The Yamaha factory team will most likely not have a satellite team until the 2024 MotoGP. This was revealed by the Managing Director of Yamaha Racing, Lin Jarvis.

As is known, Yamaha must separate from RNF, which is their satellite team at the end of the 2022 season. The Malaysian team decided to dock as a Aprilia Racing satellite to navigate the 2023 season of competition.

With the departure of the RNF, Jarvis hopes his team can recruit VR46 to become the next Yamaha satellite. However, Valentino Rossi's team still leaves a contract with Ducati until 2024.

Jarvis admits that the 2023 MotoGP will be a different season for Yamaha. In fact, according to him, the presence of the satellite team can really help Yamaha have a lot of data to win the title.

"It will be different for us (Yamaha) in 2023, we only have two riders. But I don't think we will suffer from this in the short term, because in Yamaha the satellite team's priority is to support (the factory team) winning," Jarvis said. from Speedweek on Tuesday, November 22.

"In addition, with the satellite team you can bring novice riders in the championship. You also get more data for development," he continued.

Jarvis said this situation could even last until the next season or in MotoGP 2024. Even so, he still opens the door to everything that happens.

"It (without a satellite team in 2024) can be imagined and may happen, now it looks like this on paper. We are taking step by step, but in this world you never know everything is changing quickly," he concluded.
