Davide Brivio is set to sensationally leave Trackhouse Aprilia at the end of this season to take up a new post in HRC.
After spells at Yamaha, Suzuki (MotoGP) and Alpine (Formula One), the Italian has presided over Trackhouse Aprilia’s rise from 2024 to it being the best satellite team in this year’s MotoGP World Championship. As well as witnessing Raul Fernandez’s first victory in Australia last year, Ai Ogura scored his maiden MotoGP podium on Sunday.
Now the Italian is poised to take a new role as a management consultant for Honda’s MotoGP affairs as it enters the new 850cc era. Cycle News understands current team manager Alberto Puig will remain in a position of power at Honda, even if his role could change to some degree.
Cycle News also understands Trackhouse owner Justin Marks was blindsided by the news. Former KTM team manager Francesco Guidotti has been linked as Brivio’s possible replacement.CN
