After being hammered by🌜 Honda during the 2014 MotoGP season, Yamaha resisted the temptation to ma🌺ke radical changes to its YZR-M1.

Instead, Yamaha Motor Racing managing director Lin Jarvis explained that process of evolution laid the groundwork for this year's triple crown of the Mo𒁏toGP Riders', Teams' and Construct⭕ors' titles.

The identity of the Riders' champion is still to be decided, but is guaranteed to be either Valentino Rossi or team-mate Jorge Lorenzo. At Phillip Island, mahbx.com asked Jarvis how closely the multiple world ꦅchampions had worked on development of this year's all-conquering bike.

"I would say that Jorge and Vale working alongside each other is probably a better description than working together," Jarvis explained. "T🍸hey work alongside each other, together with the engineers, and the engineers are able tﷺo listen to these two incredible riders - with slightly different riding styles - and make progress step-by-step-by-step.

"T🔯his [success] started midway through last season, after we were destroyed by Marc Marquez in the first ten races. Then our engineers had to improve a lot the bikꦓe and we already did it in the second half of last year.

"Fortunately our evolution rather than revolution approach has paid off tဣhis year because Honda has clearly developed a bike that is more difficult to ride than ours. There is no question. So that's to our advantage as well.

"This is all part of the game: It's not just a rider sport, it's also a sport where the team cannot make errors and the manufacturer has to develop a great bike. Today, as you know, we won the constructors' title. Our 🌜second title of the year.

"So that's done and the riders' titl♓e is guaranteed, so it's been a great yea𝄹r and the only thing that remains is to find out if it'll be 46 or 99."

Rossi is eleven points ahea💖d of Lorenzo with two rounds, and 50 points, remaining.
