Paolo Pavesio to Succeed Lin Jarvis as Yamaha Motor Racing Managing Director in 2025

Yamaha has announced that Paolo Pavesio will take over as managing director in 2025, succeeding Lin Jarvis.

Paolo Pavesio has been appointed to take over Lin Jarvis' position at Yamaha.

Starting January 1, 2025, Pavesio is set to take on the role of managing director at Yamaha Motor Racing.

He formerly held the position of Director of Marketing and Motorsport at Yamaha Motor Europe, where he reorganized the motorsport department, leading to subsequent world championship victories in World Superbikes, EWC, and MXGP.

Pavesio will take over the role from Jarvis, who is stepping down after leading Yamaha for 26 years.

Jarvis guided Yamaha to secure eight championships for riders, six titles for constructors, and seven for teams. He managed the peak periods for the Japanese brand with notable riders like Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, and also their latest victory with Fabio Quartararo.

Even though Jarvis is stepping down from his position as managing director, he will continue to serve Yamaha as a Senior Advisor.

“On a personal level and representing Yamaha, I want to express my gratitude to Lin for his commitment and contributions throughout the last 26 years," stated Takahiro Sumi, who serves as the General Manager of the Motor Sports Development Division.

"His dedication, hard work, and guidance have played a crucial role in Yamaha's achievements in MotoGP, and I am pleased that we will continue to benefit from his expertise and experience in the future."

Lin's successor as Managing Director will be Paolo Pavesio. Pavesio comes to the position with extensive experience from his time at YME, where he served as the Marketing and Motorsport Director. In that capacity, he led Yamaha teams to win World Championship titles in WorldSBK, EWC, and MXGP.

"I am eager to have Paolo join YMR this January, and I believe that with his guidance, Yamaha will achieve the MotoGP success we are all aiming for."
