Lin Jarvis’ words.

Lin Jarvis gave an interesting interview to Crashnet. “I’m always very cautious about comparing centaurs from different eras. At the time of the four aliens-Rossi, Stoner, Lorenzo, and Pedrosa-they had a different level than the others and won everything, whereas now that is no longer the case. In the current MotoGP we have eight or ten riders at a high level and we see so many different winners. And that I think is because the performance of the bikes is now more leveled.”

“There are always some amazing talents and Fabio is definitely one of them, he has something extra. For example, Casey was one of them, and even Valentino recognized that. It’s about courage, skill, reaction time, understanding the bike. Quartararo definitely has these aspects. Then we must not forget the off-bike aspect; some riders have the ability to team up around themselves. Rossi is an example, and so is Marquez. In Marc’s working group in HRC, everyone is very close and tight-knit. And it’s the same for Quartararo.”
