As much as the riders and cutting-edge machinery take the spotlight in the adrenaline-fueled races of the MotoGP, it can be argued that the crews behind the scenes deserve just as much credit for the success of race teams.

What we don’t usually see, however, is the hard work that maintaining a competitive standing in the world’s premiere class of motorcycle racing entails. It goes without saying that the success of the Suzuki MotoGP team is greatly attributable to the folks behind the scenes, and now, we pay tribute to one of the Suzuki MotoGP team’s members who sadly lost his life after a long and arduous fight against cancer.
