168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valentino Rossi remains MotoGP’s biggest breakout♒ superstar and ho💯w to replicate him will be a long-lasting issue.

But Davide Briv🐈io believes, despite th🔴e huge interest in Rossi’s glory years, that a large audience is still at MotoGP’s disposal.

Brivio spent three years away from MotoGP working in the Formula 1 paddo🅠ck with Alpine.

Upon his return, as team principal of Trackhouse, he has reflected on the changing times in the world’s premier two𒐪-wheel series.

“MotoGP has changed over time, as have𓆉 the characters that compose it,” Brivio told .

“Valentino was a sort of popular💃 effect, similar to [fellow Italians] Alberto T🐲omba in skiing and Jannik Sinner in tennis.

“Rossi gave the system a boost. Today the #46 effect has faded, but the audience is still🅺 high.

“The enthusiasm is there. And how…”

Liberty Media’s takeover of ♕MotoGP could spring the sport to new heights, as it did when it helped F1 to grow.

Brivio was the𝓡 man who tempted Rossi from Honda to Yamaha in 2003.

What followed next will forever be in MotoGP folklore; a career which garnered mainstream attention like no m♌otorcycle racer ever.

Many years oಌn, Brivio is still 🌱at the forefront leading a MotoGP team.

After a spell away ౠfrom the ꦿsport, is he still as passionate?

"Certainly. A lot, otherwi📖se I would stay at home,” he said.

“In my career, I have taken many pla🥂nes, I will gladly do it𒈔 again.

“The passion for mಞy work is intact, indeed, I would define it as further grown and consolidated.

“If that wasn't the case, I'ౠd probably do something else."

Brivio offered an intrigu🔥ing comparison between F1 a♛nd MotoGP.

“In🐻 Formula 1 companies race, in MotoGP teams race,” he said.

“The four-wheelers enjoy enormous economic and human resources because, logically, the car is larger than𒅌 a two-wheeler.

“Many people work on the single-seater, and almost every p𝕴iece is produced in-house, apart from tyres, brakes and little else.

“Between power 🔥units in hybrid configuration and aerodynamic sections, w🗹e never stop intervening.

“The game requires large resources, a large number of e🀅ngineers, separate but connected departments between them. If we quantify the differences, they are large."

Trackhouse, an Aprilia satellite sq🥃uad, are run by the t🎃eam behind the huge NASCAR project.

The role of Aprilia will be crucial for the team who count Miguel🌳 Oliveira and Raul Fernandez as the♔ir riders.

“We have ꦆex♐cellent RS-GPs and support from the manufacturer,” Brivio said.

“The merit of Trackhouse is explained by the signal: desire and inten🃏tions to do well are very high.

“Justin Marks discussed the contract together with Aprilia, immediately asking for the 2024 version RS-GPs, more exp♒ensive t👍han the ‘23, but continuously updated.

“After 𒐪a few ♛words, he accepted. This struck me positively.

“We will end up having the same bikes as 🐠the Noale factory team, today, in 2025 and 2026.

“For us it has enormous appeal towards riders, sponsors and the en𒊎ꦦvironment.”
