A rider’s insight (or, often, complaints) about his bike have traditionally b🙈een 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 Suzuki team manager Brivio has explained how European manufacturers are leading their Japa🍃nese rivals because they do not rely solely on their riders’ opinions.

"In🍨 today's Mo♛toGP, no,” Brivio told about a rider’s feedback to his team. 

“The rider is fine, b♚ecause he i🧸s the one who rides, but his judgement, his feeling, must be supported by more precise scientific data. 

“It only becomes the stimulus to start the research. 🐟That is the evolution. 

“MotoGP is now a much more technolo▨gical enviroꦕnment, and new technologies must be used. 

“Becaℱuse the riders always say the same things: ‘the🐎re is little grip, there is no acceleration, there is little feeling when entering corners’

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

Brivio insisted that bikes should not be tailor-made to suit its rider: “It is no longer the period 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.

Br🐓ivio believes in a ‘performance team’ strategy - an “engineeri꧑ng 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 c෴reated it already in 2016, our second year of racing,” he said. 

“W🦋e were the first to have it, among the Japanese, and we were therefore the closest to the Europeans. 

“Now the surviving ♛Japanese manufacture𒆙rs must change their approach.”

Honda and Yama💜ha have “not taken this step f🍷orwards”, Brivio insists.

“The problem, ꧂hꦑowever, is another: 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 didn't know.'&nbs♔p;

“Well, it means that in Honda they are still using the old metho✃d. 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.
