videometry technician or coach has become so important in MotoGP. With the advancement of technology and the availability of software programs, teams can now easily analyze and compare the lines used by different riders on the track. This technique allows riders to imitate the lines of benchmark riders and improve their lap times. The use of videometry has become widespread in the MotoGP grid, with all teams expected to have a technician or coach dedicated to this aspect in 2024. The technique was first introduced by Serge Andrey at Ducati in 2010, and it has since been developed and adapted by other engineers in different teams. Despite offers to take his expertise elsewhere, Andrey has chosen to stay with LCR Honda, where he has been treated like family for ten years. Other teams, such as Suzuki, have also embraced videometry to help their riders enhance their performance on the track.
