MotoGP | Misano GP: Lin Jarvis (Yamaha), “Rossi renewal? Possible, he is motivated"

MotoGP Gp San Marino and Riviera di Rimini – On the eve of the Misano Grand Prix, the thirteenth stage of the 2019 MotoGP, which promises to be a race full of twists and turns, important words arrive from Lin Jarvis, Managing Director of Yamaha, on the future of Valentino Rossi.

The home idol, who after the tests held on the Romagna track seems to be ready to obtain a good result, could say goodbye to the world of motorbike racing at the end of next year unless there are "sensational" twists. In reality it might not be a bolt from the blue and Jarvis, interviewed by Motorsport.com on the occasion of the Monza Formula 1 GP, says that a renewal is possible and that he sees Valentino Rossi ready and motivated to continue.

Lin Jarvis renews Valentino Rossi

“Will Rossi renew again? This is possible because he is very motivated and we are making new and important investments. It depends on our competitiveness and also on his motivations. That's hard to say because he'll be 41 next year, so I don't know, but he'll decide next year. He has been with us for many years, I have also been with him for many years. We have a good relationship with Vale and Yamaha and I'm sure they will continue in the future. Quartararo? Next season he will still be with our satellite team Petronas because he has a two-year contract. Then we'll see later. He is very interesting because he is very young and fast and has a good character for this sport."
