In 2005 Yamaha Motor Racing as a company completed the move from the Netherlands in order to create a single Yamaha MotoGP European operation in Italy, strengthening and centralising the management of the team and all MotoGP operations. Although responsibility for the technical aspects of MotoGP remains predominantly at Yamaha?s Technology Development Division in Japan, a number of Japanese engineering staff complete the European MotoGP set-up.
The team is based in Gerno di Lesmo, close to Monza, as are the logistics and the engine management sectors. This facility was re-built during 2008 and a new, state-of-the-art facility was opened giving the team a superb new headquarters with all technical, logistical, managerial and communications departments under one roof.
Lin Jarvis is Managing Director of Yamaha Motor Racing Srl and Masahiko Nakajima is the Team Director for the Fiat Yamaha Team. Davide Brivio is Team Manager for Valentino Rossi?s side of the garage whilst Wilco Zeelenberg joins the team in 2010 to fulfill the same role for Jorge Lorenzo.
