At Suzuki, has the great cohesion displayed until now by a team gathered around Davide Brivio experienced its first cracks upon the announcement of the departure of the latter known? If this proves correct, we can expect an official team with a different state of mind than the one known, with a need for authority to keep ranks close. This would then be the imperative of a Shinichi Sahara who announced that he would not replace the Italian. A choice or an obligation? Rumor has it that a successor was designated, but that Joan Mir vetoed it. And for good reason …
The departure of Davide Brivio from home Suzuki was so sudden that everyone was caught off guard within the official team of the brand engaged in MotoGP. A " shock » even according to the comments then received and while the intoxication of the world title of Joan mir was still dominant. The hangover arrived but we suffered in silence until we decided to dilute the duties of the starter rather than handing them over to a replacement.
This is the official story, but on Moto.it, by way of Manuel Pecino, we discover another one. Actually, Davide Brivio did not leave the place without thinking about the continuation of his work. The Italian now in Formula 1 would have proposed Jose Manuel Cazeaux at his post. An interesting choice, but the person concerned is the chief engineer of a certain alex rins. A complicity that Joan Mir deemed possibly suspicious.
Joan Mir would have recalled his status as World Champion
« According to the information I received » said Pecino « it seems that Davide Brivio wanted José Manuel Cazeaux to oversee the team. He is the current chief engineer of Alex Rins ". And the journalist adds: “ Joan Mir made it clear he was the world champion, even though it was Frankie Carchedi, who is Mir's own crew chief, who communicated to Suzuki that the choice of Cazeaux was not welcome ».
It will be recalled that the theory of a Jose Manuel Cazeaux successor to Brivio had also been put forward at the time by Sky Sport. To be continued in the progress of this 2021 season where Suzuki will have to defend his driver's title Joan mir … What dreams of stealing from him above all his teammate Alex Rins.
On Suzuki's new organizational chart, Joan mir commented : " I trust Suzuki a lot, honestly. I think there are very competent people on the team. Sahara is an extraordinary guy, very serious and professional, who will know how to get out of this situation. I still have two years with Suzuki and I'm not nervous. I trust them"
