Livio Suppo would therefore be the future team manager of the Suzuki factory team in MotoGP. The official announcement is awaited regarding this deafening rumor which has all the trappings of truth. And firstly because, at this stage of a calendar which specifies that the season will begin in less than 10 days in Qatar, the Hamamatsu brand no longer has any other choice to make. She waited for Davide Brivio until he definitively turned his back on MotoGP by finally extending his sentence in the golden Formula 1 prison. It was necessary to decide to respect the commitment made to its drivers with a complete organization chart. A choice that will have consequences, because Livio Suppo is another animal than Davide Brivio…
The sweet and calm house Suzuki could well change the atmosphere with the arrival of a Livio Suppo, Racing Consultant who showed during his time as team manager at Ducati et Honda that he knew how to take his destiny into his own hands. And embrace, to better assume it, the entire spectrum of its area of competence. So, if Davide Brivio knew how to convince the Suzuki people through efforts and arguments, Livio Suppo, he will be able to bang his fist on the table if things are not going quickly enough on certain issues.
The first case to be handled by Livio Suppo will be the case of Joan Mir
Without a doubt, it is a strong massage that Suzuki wants to pass to his World Champion Joan mir to renew the lease that houses him on the GSX-RR. Livio Suppo, Racing Consultant, as soon as he takes office, will look into this issue of the transfer market and the two men know each other well. They even appreciate each other since, in his time, suppo would have wanted to hire Mir under the Repsol Honda colors in MotoGP.
It will now remain to be seen how the boiling and determined Livio Suppo, Racing Consultant will arrange its space alongside the placid Japanese led with kindness by Shinichi Sahara. A development which will be interesting to follow because, given the delays which led to this recruitment, it is clear that Livio Suppo, Racing Consultant, who spontaneously stood as a candidate from the start of Brivio, was never the first choice of Suzuki, no more than a priority.
