In the traditional interview he gives to gpone.com after each Grand Prix, the former boss of the Aprilia team (Biaggi era) and current driver manager, looks back on the highlights of the Jerez weekend. Here are some excerpts.
Johann zarco
“No one knew him, including myself. He was never considered by anyone, despite his two titles, perhaps because of his reserved nature. Davide Brivio (editor’s note: Suzuki team manager) blames himself a lot, even though Johann was under contract with him, but he chose Rins instead. Poncharal is delighted, not because he chose it, but because he ended up at home anyway, because he was missing a pilot. »
Jorge Lorenzo and Ducati
“It’s a resurrection for Ducati, I think they are at a technical turning point. Jorge and Andrea's complaints about working too much mainly on the engine were addressed by the team. Lorenzo made a fundamental contribution, he did well, no one would have imagined a podium in Spain.
Yamaha's rout
“They were beaten, which no one would have imagined in Jerez, especially if we consider Zarco's performance. It's a tire problem, but it's the engineers' responsibility, especially after two years of experience with Michelin. In my opinion, what happened yesterday will happen again if the bike cannot be adapted to the tires. »
Dani Pedrosa and Sete Gibernau
“With Sete Gibernau by his side, Dani is happy to race again. Before, with Alberto Puig, he was nervous, he wasn't having fun. I must say that in general pilot support has become a need rather than a trend."
