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.

Before, he served as the Marketing and Motorsport Director at Yamaha Motor Europe, where he reorganized the motorsport department, leading to world championship victories in World Superbikes, EWC, and MXGP.

Pavesio is set to take over from Jarvis, who will be 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 years of the Japanese company with Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, and also their latest victory with Fabio Quartararo.

Despite stepping down from his position as managing director, Jarvis will continue to serve Yamaha in the capacity of Senior Advisor.

Speaking both for myself and for Yamaha, I want to express my gratitude to Lin for his commitment and accomplishments over the last 26 years," stated Takahiro Sumi, who serves as the General Manager of the Motor Sports Development Division.

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

Paolo Pavesio will take over from Lin as the new Managing Director. Pavesio has a rich background of experience from his time at YME, where he served as the Marketing and Motorsport Director. During his tenure, 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 working towards."
