Joan Mir: ‘They have some differences, but regarding how they approach the relationship with the rider, they are very similar’
Davide Brivio, who gave Joan Mir his MotoGP break with Suzuki in 2019 and oversaw the Spaniard’s title victory the following season, returns to MotoGP this year as team principal of Trackhouse Aprilia.
Mir meanwhile switched to Repsol Honda last season after Suzuki pulled the plug on its MotoGP team, putting him under the guidance of another multi-title winning team manager in the form of ex-racer Alberto Puig.Asked what the pair have in common, Mir explained: “One thing is that they always speak with the rider, they always try to be very close to the rider, probably Alberto even more in that .
“They have some differences but regarding how they are with me, or how they approach the relationship with the rider, they are very similar.”
