MotoGP Davide Brivio: “I think Aprilia is currently one of the best places you can be”

As team principal of TrackHouse Racing in MotoGP, Davide Brivio works closely with Aprilia, which is more than just a motorcycle supplier, but a true partner. He believes that Aprilia is an ideal project to support at the moment, despite Ducati's dominance in the premier class.

We expected a return of Davide Brivio in the paddock MotoGP after an F1 parenthesis, but from the one who was one of the executives of the official adventure Suzuki, with a Drivers' World Champion title in 2020, we imagined a destiny much greater than that of manager of a private team TrackHouse. But the Italian assures us that we should not trust appearances…

In fact, Davide Brivio is delighted with this relationship with Aprilia, affirming that the brand is well positioned to be a serious challenger for Ducati, also for KTM. He sees the possibility for Aprilia to challenge current leaders: “ I am happy to have this relationship with Aprilia, to be a partner with Aprilia » he proclaims to anyone who will listen. “ Of course, in MotoGP Ducati is very strong, they dominated last year's championship, of course it's the bike everyone wants to beat. And I think Aprilia is in a great position to be a challenger to Ducati, right now, with KTM ».

Davide Brivio: “ I can see that Aprilia has been copied by others, so it's great »

It also notes the progress made by Aprilia in terms of aerodynamics, pointing out that other teams appear to have copied their concepts. Davide Brivio firmly believes that with Aprilia, they can be strong competitors, but recognizes that it will take time to reach the top, just as it did for Ducati : “ we saw the 2024 bike, there was a lot of work on the aerodynamics. In fact, from what I've been able to see a little bit from the outside, I can see that Aprilia has been copied by others, so that's great. It’s already a great recognition, If you want. So I think that with Aprilia we are able to be a serious challenger. We must work in this direction ».

« Of course, it's a long way because Ducati also came to this position after many years, so it takes many years to be in this position. So, I hope Aprilia does the same, is in the same process, on the same path » signals Brivio.

Despite the challenges ahead, Davide Brivio remains confident in the capabilities ofAprilia and highlights the importance of seizing the current advantage before other teams fully recover..." At the moment, Yamaha and Honda, they are recovering. Maybe we need to use this advantage ". He also expresses his satisfaction with the relationship with Aprilia, emphasizing the ease of communication with Massimo rivola, the man of competition at the Noale firm: “ the relationship is very good: of course, I know Massimo Rivola well and it's easy to interact and talk with them. So it's good ».

Davide Brivio ends thus: “ we can be one of the challengers, try to challenge the guys who are stronger, who dominate. It's also very exciting. I'm happy to be with Aprilia, because I think it's one of the best places you can be at the moment ».
