Silvano Galbusera has worked alongside Valentino Rossi since 2014, and the 62-year-old had the difficult task of succeeding Jeremy Burgess. But unlike the Australian, the Italian has not yet had the opportunity to celebrate any world title with the Doctor. It came close in 2015, but we know how it ended. Today, he is put in the hot seat by Yamaha but defended by Valentino Rossi. He therefore responds to Yamaha by defending Rossi…
Lynn Jarvis, in his speeches, often alluded to a need for better collaboration between the team of Valentino Rossi within the box Yamaha . The working method of the Doctor's clan compared to that of the factory in application to the team member Casa Particular in Viñales was also topical. Messages which forced Vale to clarify that there would never be a question of calling into question the organization of the group gathered around him. Starting with the most emblematic of its members: the chief engineer Galbraith.
The whole is going through a sensitive period. At 40, there is less to do in his career Valentino Rossi than he has already accomplished, and time is running out inexorably, making the quest for a desired tenth title more and more difficult. To make it happen, you need a good driver with a good machine. And Galbraith clearly identifies which link is missing: “ the shortcomings are more our doing than theirs " said Silvano Galbussera at Rai Sport.
« We are working well in this part of the season and we will continue in this direction next winter to try to put in place a bike with which he can attempt the tenth title next year... It is not the number of titles that really matters, but rather to show that he is still competitive at his age and that he is the best of all. He has the capabilities, all you need is a competitive bike. With something more on the engine and chassis he could be in Dovizioso's place and closer to Márquez to fight until the end ».
Galbraith finished : " Vale's technical knowledge is a treasure that should not be wasted. I hope he stays in the motorcycle industry and passes it on to someone whose career can align with his. I hope this technical knowledge will be passed on to someone. Valentino often goes beyond telemetry, as it provides very specific feedback that gives us a different point of view. So accurate that it forces us to check the telemetry against what it says ».
