La Yamaha est déterminée à améliorer ses performances en MotoGP après les années difficiles et a maintenant engagé un ingénieur important de chez Ducati : Massimo Bartolini.
According to the website SPEEDWEEK.com, which cites the Italian press, he was close to the CEO Gigi Dall’Igna. At Ducati, he was a performance engineer.
If confirmed, this is another hiring by Yamaha from Ducati, after their current aerodynamics director, Marco Nicotra, arrived from Borgo Panigale last October.
In recent seasons, the Italian manufacturer has also lost three important members to KTM: Fabiano Sterlacchini and the head mechanics Alberto Giribuola and Christian Pupulin.
