Yamaha announces Lin Jarvis' successor

Paolo Pavesio to take on managing director role in 2025

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

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

He formerly served as the Director of Marketing and Motorsport at Yamaha Motor Europe, where he reorganized the motorsport division. This restructuring eventually led to world championship victories in World Superbikes, EWC, and MXGP.

Pavesio is set to take over from Jarvis, who has led Yamaha for 26 years and is now stepping down

Jarvis guided Yamaha to achieve eight rider championships, six manufacturer championships, and seven team championships. He managed the successful eras of the Japanese company with Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, and also their latest championship victory with Fabio Quartararo.

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

"On a personal note and representing Yamaha, I extend my gratitude to Lin for his commitment and accomplishments spanning 26 years," stated Takahiro Sumi, who serves as 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 will take over the role of Managing Director from Lin. Pavesio has extensive experience from his tenure at YME, where he served as the Marketing and Motorsport Director and successfully led Yamaha teams to World Championship victories in WorldSBK, EWC, and MXGP.

"I am excited about Paolo joining YMR in January, and I believe that with his leadership, Yamaha can achieve the future success in MotoGP that we are all working towards."
