In the run-up to the Austrian Grand Prix, it was announced that Ai Ogura would make his MotoGP debut next season thanks to Trackhouse, and in particular its team manager Davide Brivio. With the signing of the Japanese rider, Brivio remains faithful to the philosophy that makes him a unique case among the managers of the different teams in the championship.
When he was in charge of Suzuki's MotoGP project, the Italian opted to 'manufacture' his line-up of young riders in Alex Rins and Joan Mir. He considered it a safer investment than going to the market to look for a proven rider, theoretically the easiest and usually the most expensive way, which does not always produce the expected result.
