The Monster Energy Yamaha MotoGP Team will undergo new changes in 2024, with Franco Morbidelli leaving and Alex Rins joining. Lin Jarvis recently admitted that he doesn’t know the manufacturer’s reinforcements very well, but that he has high expectations.
The Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing said in an interview with Michel Turco that he doesn’t know the #42 as a person because he has ridden for opposing teams over the years, but he is hopeful that the rider will come with a willingness to work and help the team turn around the less positive results of recent times:
– I don’t know him very well because he’s always one of our rivals. But I hope he’ll contribute, take part in the team’s efforts and works to turn things around. He’s a rider with a competitive spirit and he does his best.
Rins is with LCR Honda this year, a team with which he has already won once and which has helped end Honda’s long winning streak in MotoGP, and will be joining Yamaha, while Morbidelli will be leaving for Pramac Racing, as confirmed earlier this week.
