Lin Jarvis held the unfo🅷rgiving task oꦬf managing arguably the fiercest teammate relationship in MotoGP.

“But it was ouꦍr most winning time. We won multiple triple crowns. At the end of the day, I would always choose two demanding 🍎riders over two easy riders.”

Yamaha won the MotoꦬGP titles three years in a row from 2008-2010 through Rossi and Lorenzo.

Lorenzo later won the 2015 title when Rossi had returned to Yamaha, from Ducati, and spent the year in an in🌌tense battle 🔯with Honda’s Marquez.
