Alex Rins will take no further part in the #JapaneseGP at #Motegi. Pain from riding was too much. Stefan Bradl will replace him.

One of the things that struck me most in Austria was the frankness with which Alex Rins and Pol Espargaro talked about the long-term consequences of the massive injuries they sustained this year.

So I wrote about the unseen pain which riders go through. They lie awake, unable to sleep, knowing that the pain isn't going away.

After @akyranishimura's excellent interview with Honda's Koji Watanabe, now it is my turn, with a long interview with Yamaha's Lin Jarvis.

In part 1, Jarvis explains why Yamaha chose Alex Rins over Franco Morbidelli, and why the Japanese factories are so far behind in MotoGP.

Part 2, on concessions and a satellite team, tomorrow.
