Davide Brivio is the one who, on the Grand Prix field, is the man for the Suzuki manufacturer. An adventure that he led to the highest level today, betting in particular on the young Alex Rins and Joan Mir who delight in the latest generation of the GSX-RR. The latest result from Misano has put into orbit the last city which is now to be considered in the title race. Something to smile about, but Davide Brivio, if he doesn't hold grudges, has a memory. And still the tooth is hard. The Styrian Grand Prix and its discussions with the stewards remain a point of contention. And he doesn't hide it...
Davide Brivio finally begins to see success smile on his troops Suzuki after an unlucky start to the season, with, in particular, the injury ofAlex Rins. But Joan mir gets better. He would perhaps even be in a better position if the stewards had not intervened during the Styrian Grand Prix.
The stumbling block is always this use of the green part delimiting the limits of the circuit. On the banks of the Adriatic, the official Mike webb however, provided a text explanation on the application of the rule. An intervention that does not change your mind Davide Brivio, whose opinion on the subject goes beyond the simple green line…
In comments relayed by the site sportfair, he states thus: “ I think too much importance is given to stewards in a discipline in which they should hardly be involved ". And he illustrates this conviction thus: “ This is not about football or basketball, which needs a referee to judge whether an action is foul or not ».
“The principle of this sport is that the motorcycles must stay on the track”
« These are races in which whoever reaches the finish line first wins. The intervention of the commissioners must be reduced as much as possible, this is achieved with more precise rules. Control is necessary, but what happens today affects the results too much ».
Brivio then continued: “ some rules depend too much on the interpretation of the commissioners. And when that happens, it opens the door to subjective judgments like in cases of track limit violations. Race Direction says the rule is clear and you can't go onto the green if the driver doing so 'obtains a clear advantage' ».
« But of course, my interpretation of what is a clear benefit may differ from theirs. It turns out that track limits can be crossed up to four times before being penalized. Pilots therefore risk more than they should, because they know that they can go a long way four times without anything happening to them. The principle of this sport is that the motorcycles must stay on the track ". With this last sentence, Davide Brivio asserts itself as a supporter of zero tolerance.
