Yamaha Announces Paolo Pavesio as Successor to Lin Jarvis; Leadership Transition Set for 2025

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

Paolo Pavesio has taken over Lin Jarvis' position at Yamaha.

Starting January 1, 2025, Pavesio will 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 world championship victories in World Superbikes, EWC, and MXGP.

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

Jarvis guided Yamaha to secure eight rider championships, six constructor championships, and seven team championships. He managed the peak years of the Japanese company with Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo, and 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.

Takahiro Sumi, the General Manager of the Motor Sports Development Division, expressed his gratitude to Lin for his commitment and accomplishments throughout the last 26 years, speaking both on a personal level and on behalf of Yamaha.

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 in the future.

Paolo Pavesio will take over from Lin as Managing Director. Pavesio comes with extensive experience from his time at YME, where he served as Marketing and Motorsport Director and led Yamaha teams to World Championship victories 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 future victories in MotoGP that we are all working towards."
