MotoGP Assen Day 2, Davide Brivio (Trackhouse) can't believe his eyes: "I wouldn't have believed in a one-two finish before the start."

This guy is a magician: everywhere he goes, he wins. After years of success, Davide Brivio has made a perfect comeback with Trackhouse Racing, a project that may seem young, but which is proving to be very dangerous. At Assen, the cathedral of motorcycle racing, the two riders from the American team shone in the Sprint, taking the top two positions after a perfectly executed race. Raul fernandez and Ai Ogura are two riders who are skyrocketing in popularity, and who, today, have completely outclassed the officials.

Davide Brivio was undoubtedly very proud of his duo. « Raul deserves all the praise. He should be able to express himself like this, because that's where his full potential lies.When he doesn't succeed, it's because he's not at his best. If he's capable of such performances, if he won a sprint at Mugello, if he won here, it means he's at that level. He's also had two or three difficult weekends, admittedly, but that's where his potential lies. What can I say about Ogura? I'm surprised by his constant progress and his learning. In my opinion, he's a very strong pilot. » he declared.

 

 

As a reminder, Davide Brivio almost cried during Ai Ogura's first MotoGP race, at the 2025 Thai Grand Prix. A special bond unites them. « I'm very happy to have shared this adventure with him. I truly regret not being able to continue working with him, but I'm satisfied with the work we both accomplished.These were two different situations: one needed to find his feet, the other needed to demonstrate his talent. And today, each in their own way, they have succeeded.s. " he added for GP One.

 

 

He needs to make the most of it, because Brivio will no longer be the team manager of Trackhouse Racing in 2027. Recruited by Honda to take on a consultant role, he will put all his experience to use in a new challenge. « Yes, I'll leave at the end of the year, but be careful, today is only Saturday, it's a sprint, there are still many races to go.As I said, today we are enjoying this wonderful moment, but tomorrow is another day and we will try to get even more satisfaction from it. This is what we must do: be present, seize the opportunities that arise, not waste them, and move forward. » he added.

Do you think one of the two can win tomorrow's Grand Prix? Tell us in the comments!
