The Italian, who is 59 years old, is back in the MotoGP paddock after serving as race director of the Formula One
team Alpine, which is owned by Renault.
Davide Brivio, the former head of Yamaha and Suzuki, has been named principal of Trackhouse Racing MotoGP,
effective immediately, the American-owned team announced on Thursday.
The Italian, who is 59 years old, is back in the MotoGP paddock after serving as race director of the Formula One
team Alpine, which is owned by Renault.
In 2020, Brivio guided Suzuki to victory alongside Joan Mir, and he managed the factory Yamaha team when
MotoGP legend Valentino Rossi was the star rider.
Trackhouse Racing, a NASCAR team that is co-owned by rapper Pitbull, stated in December that it will be entering
the MotoGP in collaboration with Aprilia to take the position of the canceled RNF Racing squad.
Brivio posted on the team website, “It all happened very quickly in the last few days with (founder and CEO) Justin
(Marks) asking me to help Trackhouse in the MotoGP challenge.”
Being a part of this new project from the start is incredibly exciting, and I’m looking forward to learning more about
Trackhouse and seeing what we can add to MotoGP from their successful business model and experience in other
sports and contexts.
The new squad will be ridden by Raul Fernandez of Spain, sponsored by Aprilia, and Miguel Oliveira of Portugal,
who competed for RNF this year.
