The MotoGP team, MoviStar Yamaha, has unveiled its new bike for the 2015 season. The Movistar team held the launch event in Madrid on 28th of January to show its new racing bike. After the long sessions of practice with the two drivers in the last season of MotoGP and the long sleepless hours with the Yamaha engineers, the Yamaha team is ready to prove itself in the upcoming 2015 season of MotoGP. The company's two best riders, Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo lost the last two championships to the HRC’s driver Marc Marquez, the year old driver who won 10 straight races at the start of the 2014 season.
The bike was revealed at the Telefónica company headquarters in Madrid. Yamaha team and the Spanish company Telefónica have been in the partnership from 2014 and this year also, the partnership continues between the two. Kouichi Tsuji, group leader Yamaha racing, told the media that they finished on the podium 10 times and out of those 10 times, 8 times the difference was more than 2 seconds. He further added that winning by 2 seconds in a 120 km long race was only possible due to the hard work done by his team in the development room.
Notably, both the Yamaha drivers, Valentine Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo are former MotoGP champions. The Italian rider, Valentine Rossi is nine-time champion and Jorge Lorenzo, on the other hand, is a four-time champion. Both the riders will be heading to the Sepang circuit to test their new 2015 YZR-M1 bikes. The new bike has also got the revised and resized Movistar logo.
Lin Jarvis, team boss said that learning from the mistakes and constantly thriving to “develop and evolve” is what mattered the most. He stressed the importance of perfection and how important it is for everything to go right at all the time to yield a winner. Praising other racers, he added that he knew other drivers had a wonderful last year, specially Marquez and the competition will be tough this year. He said he was confident in his drivers and hoped to win many races. The Sepang circuit will be open for the MotoGP riders to test their new bikes from February 4th to February 6th.
