Ken Kawauchi was one of the keys to the success at Suzuki on its return to MotoGP from 2015 and, together with Davide Brivio, he took charge of the technical side up until the Japanese manufacturer quit the series at the end of 2022.
Alex Rins joined Suzuki on his MotoGP debut in 2017 and remained part of the team until its racing division was closed last year.
