Yamaha factory team general manager Lin Jarvis believes it is only a matter of time before Fabio Quartararo takes his first victory in the premier class.

Yamaha team boss Lin Jarvis has hit back at critics who say Maverick Vinales' contract was extended too early as his struggles and poor form continue into this season. But the seasoned team principal says people who think so are short-sighted because they are planning beyond one season at Yamaha. "Usually you don't sign a contract just because of the current results, but offer it as a sign of trust in the work of your colleagues. I think that's also why Maverick decided the way we did, but we don't want to disappoint him. In a few races last year, we were a little short " and we had some problems in winter testing, but I'm happy with the results.

Yamaha team boss Lin Jarvis has warned of a hot market for riders for the 2019 season. All 12 factory team riders are out of contract with their current employers at the end of the season, so this season will see tough negotiations as all factory teams look to secure the services of top racers.
