Davide Brivio, Team Manager of the Suzuki Ecstar team in MotoGP, spoke to Dylan Gray (MotoGP.com) during FP3.

Davide Brivio: “Everyone now knows that Lorenzo has signed with Ducati. Yamaha tries to take Maverick. Of course, for us, he is very very important for our project, I would even say crucial because, with him, we can try to reach the top positions. It will be his decision. We try to do our best and we will see. »

Decryption:
The Japanese have a great sense of honor and, by tradition, Honda and Yamaha, both much bigger than Suzuki, never poach a rider from the Hamamatsu firm.
Having the nugget Marquez, Honda does not need Vinales, but Yamaha is already looking for its leader for the “post-Rossi” period and sees in Maverick the ideal profile, especially since the solution is more than supported by the Italian pilot himself.
So, for once, Yamaha made an exception to the rule of Japanese honor by requesting the Spanish rider.
By taking his speech to the public square, Davide Brivio intends to ask for some sort of compensation from the three tuning forks, and we can imagine that a secret meeting between the two representatives of the manufacturers, Lin Jarvis and Davide Brivio, will take place very soon...
