It was a MotoGP comeback that was already expected and now confirmed: Davide Brivio is the new team principal of Trackhouse Racing, months after leaving the Alpine project in car racing.
The Italian needs no introduction in MotoGP, having been a key member of the Suzuki project’s success that ended in 2022 or Yamaha’s during Valentino Rossi’s time – in fact, he played a crucial role in bringing Il Dottore to the Iwata manufacturer in 2004.
Brivio’s hiring demonstrates Trackhouse Racing’s strong ambition to achieve success, counting on one of the most proven leaders in MotoGP in its ranks. Wilco Zeelenberg continues with the team after being part of its predecessor.
The team owner, Justin Marks, stated in a press release: ‘It’s incredible to have someone of Davide’s caliber and experience leading the Trackhouse Racing MotoGP Team. All of us at the company are humbled by the commitment he has made. It became apparent the moment I met Davide that he would be someone that fits perfectly in the Trackhouse culture. I know he will lead us to great things on and off the racetrack’.
