The veteran MotoGP team manager has been identified by the Japanese manufacturer as they attempt a majo𝔉r restructure to return to the top of the sport, reports DAZN’s .

Honda want Brꦗivio in a management role to support, rather🤡 than replace, current team manager Alberto Puig, he reports.

The fascination behind Brivio’s name popping up is that he was a key ally in Valentino Rossi’s career but could now enter the garage where Marc Maꦓrquez lurks.

Honda’s recruitment drive for European brains has been ordered by Marquez but might not be enough to tempt the star rider to s𒆙tay, because he is likely to j🎀oin Gresini Ducati in 2024.

Nevertheless,ꦿ Honda have already dispensed with long-serving technical director Shinichi Kokubu in a show of ruthlessness to return to the summit of MotoGP with or without Marquez.

Brivio curren�💯�tly works at Alpine, the F1 team, but is better known for his time in MotoGP.

As Yamaha team manager, he was instrumental in recruiting Rossi from Honda. Rossi won four of his premier cla🍰ss championships൲ under Brivio’s watch.

Brivio then worked at Rossi’s VR46 programme, before leading Suzuki in MotoGP. Joan Mir won the 2020 championship for Suzuki wit🦹h Brivio in charge. Mir would be ♕reunited with Brivio at Honda, should this remarkable claim become a reality.
