Yamaha Movistar team since two series of champions ago showed a decrease in performance. They lost to the competition with Repsol Honda team. This situation received attention from Repsol Honda rider Marc Marquez.
The Spaniard claims if the Yamaha movistar team will be more difficult to compete in the next year because it has made a fatal mistake in terms of driver selection.
Marquez feels the Yamaha team should prefer to secure the services of Johann Zarco who will eventually join the Red Bull KTM team, rather than extending the veteran rider Valentino Rossi's contract.
"I think Yamaha's decision is quite strange, they let the best rider lose they ever had, Rossi does have a lot of experience, Vinales also have speed, but now Zarco is the most powerful, but he will move to KTM," .
