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' role at Yamaha.

Starting January 1, 2025, Pavesio will assume 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 is taking over the position from Jarvis, who is stepping down after leading Yamaha for 26 years.

Jarvis guided Yamaha to achieve eight rider championships, six manufacturer championships, and seven team championships. He managed the peak periods for the Japanese company with Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, and also their latest championship win with Fabio Quartararo.

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

"On a personal level and as a representative of Yamaha, I want to express my gratitude to Lin for his commitment and accomplishments over the last 26 years," stated Takahiro Sumi, the General Manager of the Motor Sports Development Division.

His dedication, hard work, and leadership 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.

Paolo Pavesio is set to take over from Lin as Managing Director. Pavesio comes with extensive experience from his tenure at YME, where he held the position of Marketing and Motorsport Director. During his time there, he successfully led Yamaha teams to earn World Championship titles in WorldSBK, EWC, and MXGP.

"I am excited about Paolo joining YMR in January, and I believe that his leadership will help Yamaha achieve the future success in MotoGP that we are all aiming for."
