The winter break is a part of the season where most of the work in MotoGP is not seen, but Hervé Poncharal spoke a little about the subject, what and how the teams are doing.
The owner of GASGAS Tech3 had a conversation with Paddock-GP where he explained part of what is being done at this time of year: ‘Winter is the time when we prepare for the new season and there are many things to do. As for the team, winter is, first and foremost, the time when we take stock with all the staff to find out who stays and who leaves’.
Preparation for the long season is also receiving a lot of attention: ‘There is always movement because, obviously, with 22 Grand Prix races, 44 MotoGP races, there are people who think it’s too much, so we take stock and that’s when the people who are leaving have to be replaced. We have to do interviews, etc. Then we redo the logistics, because the designs change almost systematically, so when there are big changes, we repaint all the trucks, redo the cubicles, whatever happens, and, in any case, from one year to the next, we redo all the team’s clothing’, and we continue:
– We prepare the reserves, make the plan with the riders, so there is a lot of logistics and organization to prepare for the first trips to the first test sessions, the first Grand Prix races, etc., and then we also have to finalize agreements with partners for the next season.
