Lin Jarvis: how to go from unpacking boxes to Valentino Rossi’s boss | Last On The Brakes

Out of all the episodes we’ve done so far, the direction this one took surprised us the most! Known for his ultra clear, considered and concise interviews about the highs and lows of Yamaha over the last 2 decades, Lin Jarvis gives his most candid and relaxed interview we’ve ever seen on camera as we wanted to get to know the man behind the steely gaze staring up at the timing screens!

How does someone even get a job like being the Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing and the man in the middle of two sporting giants such as Valentino Rossi & Jorge Lorenzo? Where do you even start? Well, like every great story, from the very bottom. If you want business, communication, general people management lessons, all mixed with some tales and insights behind the scenes in one of the most successful sporting organisations on the planet, then this is the podcast episode for you!

Let us know what you thought and who you want us to chat with over the rest of the season through using #MotoGPpodcast on Twitter!

See you soon!
