Paolo Pavesio set to take over as managing director in 2025

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

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

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 from Jarvis, who has been the head of Yamaha for 26 years.

Jarvis guided Yamaha to achieve eight championships for riders, six for constructors, and seven for teams. He managed the peak years of the Japanese company with stars like Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, and also their latest triumph 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.

Expressing his gratitude both individually and on Yamaha's behalf, Takahiro Sumi, the General Manager of the Motor Sports Development Division, thanked Lin for his 26 years of dedication and accomplishments.

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 served as Marketing and Motorsport Director, leading Yamaha teams to World Championship victories in WorldSBK, EWC, and MXGP.

"I eagerly anticipate Paolo joining YMR in January. With him at the helm, I strongly believe that Yamaha can achieve the future success in MotoGP that we are all aiming for."
