Davide Brivio is returning to the MotoGP World Championship. The historic leader of Yamaha or Suzuki will now be with the Aprilia satellite team, Trackhouse Racing, as team manager.
The announcement came this Thursday, on the sidelines of the last day of testing in Sepang. The Italian had left the Alpine project in motorsport a few months ago, and since then there had been speculation about a return to MotoGP.
Now, it’s official, and Brivio explained how he joins the latest team in the paddock: ‘Everything happened very quickly in the last few days, with Justin [Marks, owner of Trackhouse] asking me to help Trackhouse in the MotoGP challenge. It’s so exciting to be part of this new project from the beginning, and I’m really looking forward to getting to know Trackhouse better and seeing what we can bring to MotoGP from the vision and successful experience that this company has in other sports and environments. It can be a great combination of the two worlds. Now, there’s just one more test left, it’s almost time to compete, and we’ll try to support our two talented riders, Miguel [Oliveira] and Raúl [Fernández], as much as possible and have fun. Everything happened very quickly in the last few days and before I couldn’t say where I was going, but it’s great news and we’ll start working quickly!‘.
