Starting next year, Prima Pramac will be Yamaha’s satellite team in MotoGP, but the nearly two decades of work with Ducati won’t go to waste in this new phase. Quite the opposite.
The team manager, Gino Borsoi, emphasized to SPEEDWEEK.com that the idea is to leverage the know-how gained with the Borgo Panigale manufacturer:
– We worked closely with Ducati for years. I think that, besides the fact that there are even more resources available in Bologna, we worked under the same conditions. We’ve internalized Ducati’s working methods and want to benefit from that in the future as well.
The Italian explained that the goal is to instill those methodologies at Yamaha: ‘The strategy is somewhat «copy-paste». We want to incorporate into the Yamaha project the successful working methods and philosophy of recent years as unfiltered as possible. And that’s also what Yamaha wants from us’.
According to Borsoi, there is great openness and a willingness to ask and learn from Yamaha: ‘Yamaha is very open. They have understood that it’s not just about technology but also about methods. Yamaha is already asking a lot of questions today, and providing them with answers is also part of the project’.
