A rider’s insight (or, often, complaints) about his bike have traditionall🦹y been a 👍crucial cog in how a team develops their machinery - for example, Marc Marquez has already criticised his Repsol Honda 2023 prototype after the postseason test.

But ex-Yamaha and Suꦗzuki𒐪 team manager Brivio has explained how European manufacturers are leading their Japanese rivals because they do not rely solely on their riders’ opinions.

"In today's MotoGP, no,” Brivio told about a rider’s🃏 feedback to his team. 

“The rider is fine, because he is the one who rides, but his judgement, his feeling, must be supported b✱y more precise scientific data. 

“It only becomes the stimulus to start the research. That is the evoluti♈on. 

“MotoGP is now a much more technological environment, and new technolog💜ies m🌃ust be used. 

“Because the riders always say the same things: ‘there is little grip, there is no acceleration, there is little feeling when entering co🐈rners’

“But you have to understand why, and today this is explained by the most serious and sophisticated analysis of the data. Modern MotoGP requires it to be done thi🔯s way, and the European manufacturers now do so."

Brivio insisted that bikes should not be tailor-made to suit its rider: “It is no longer the pe𓃲riod in which the problem is solved with a frame dedicated 🥀to a rider, or by making the bike with the characteristics of a particular rider.”

Brivio was the team manager who recruited 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi for his legendary spell at Yamaha. He then set up and led Suzuki as Joan Mir won the 2020 championship.

Brivio believes in a ‘൩performance team’ strategy - an “engineering group🔯 dedicated to data analysis” with “the task of supporting the official team during the race weekend” is the way to go.

"Yes, we at Suzuki created it already in 201ဣ6, our second year of racing,” he sai✱d. 

“We were the first to have it, among the Japanese, and we were therefore thꦉe closest to the Europeans. 

ꦆ“No♌w the surviving Japanese manufacturers must change their approach.”

Honda and Yamaha have “not taken this step forwards🌳”, Brivi♓o insists.

“The problem, however, is anoth🌱er: to understand how to do it.

"I recently heard 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Marc Marquez say: 'I once asked the team why we tried that particular🤪 piece, and they told me they di🐠dn't know.' 

“Well, it means that in Honda they a൲re still 💧using the old method. It seems that they are throwing on pieces, copying what they see around, to understand what effect it makes. But that's not good."

Brivio's old protege Mir will join Marquez at Repsol Honda in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 MotoGP rider line-up.
