Rumour swirls through MotoGP that Davide Brivio will return, but not with Honda…
According to a report from Gazzetta, Davide Brivio is being considered as a potential successor to Lin Jarvis as the managing director of Yamaha. Brivio previously served as Yamaha’s team manager from 2004 to 2010. The report suggests that 2024 could be Jarvis’ last year in the position. Brivio’s involvement could be crucial in persuading Valentino Rossi’s VR46 MotoGP team to join Yamaha as a satellite squad. While VR46 is currently tied to Ducati, they are evaluating their options for the future. Brivio played a significant role in convincing Rossi to leave Honda for Yamaha in 2004, leading to a successful partnership that revitalized Yamaha. He was also involved in the rebuild at Honda before his recent exit from the Alpine Formula 1 team. Despite no move to Honda materializing, Yamaha could present an ideal opportunity for Brivio. Additionally, Brivio led Joan Mir to the MotoGP title in 2020 as the team boss at Suzuki.
