A rider’s insight (or, often, complaints) about his bike have traditionally 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 Suzuk𒐪i 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 M🍌otoGP, no,” Brivio told about a rider’s feedback to his team. 

“The ꧑rider is fine, because he is the one who rides, but his judgement, his feeling, must be supported by more precise scientific data. 

“It only becomes the stimulus ဣto start the research. ൲That is the evolution. 

“MotoGP is now a much mo🎃re technological enviro🤪nment, and new technologies must be used. 

“Because the riders alway😼s say the same things: ‘there is little grip, there is no acceleration, there is little feeling when entering corners’

“But you have to understand why, and today this is explained by the most serious and sophisticated analysis of the data. Modern꧑ MotoGP requires it to be done this 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 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5最新开奖结果: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 ‘ℱperformance team’ strategy - an “engineering group dedicated to d🃏ata analysis” with “the task of supporting the official team during the race weekend” is the way to go.

"Yeꦦs, we at Suzuki created it already in 2016, our second year of racing,” he said. 

“We were the first to ♊have it, among the Japanese, an🤡d we were therefore the closest to the Europeans. 

“Now the surviving Japanes🧔e manufacturers must change thei𝔍r approach.”

Honda and Yamaha have “not tak🔯en this step fo🅘rwards”, Brivio insists.

“The problem, however, is another: to understand how to do it🙈.

"I recently heard 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Marc Marquez say: 'I once asked the team why we tried that particular piece, and they told me 💞they didn't know.🃏' 

“Well, it means that in Honda they are stillඣ 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5最新开奖结果:2023 MotoGP rider line-up.
