It’s a well-known fact that Davide Brivio is talented at finding future MotoGP riders to support and bring to success. The Italian, who managed Suzuki’s MotoGP project, has endowed premier-class debut to several race winners including Maverick Vinales, Alex Rins, and the current world champion Joan Mir. Some of these riders are now prominent figures in motorcycle racing thanks to him and his vision of finding talents as well as nurturing the young riders to be future champions.
Now in charge of the Trackhouse, an independent team, Davide set his sights on Moto2 title contender Ai Ogura. The young Japanese rider has been expected to move to the satellite Aprilia team in 2025. Davide is quite clear that this is a long-term development plan concerning this lad, and the first season envisaged for him in the club is intended to be a learning year.
Challenges of Developing Talent in an Independent Team
Still, Davide Brivio agrees that things are even tougher this time around. While in Suzuki, he was creating riders for a factory team, he is now in a situation where he has to create talent for an independent team. From this arises the problem that if Ogura or his teammate Raul Fernandez sees that he does, factory teams may come and take him away.
The new issue that emerged is that the team must retain the riders within the team while preparing them for MotoGP racers. Davide Brivio is very conscious that the prospect of getting a factory team is very appealing to a young rider especially once they start showing some promising performance.
Davide Brivio Preparing New Talent for the Future
Thus, the threat is that Ogura and Fernadez will leave Trackhouse to minimize this, the focus is to create pleasure in their work and make the overall atmosphere of Trackhouse comfortable and motivating. They will follow a strategy of competitiveness by having a strong bike and a good environment. This can be related to the struggle that independent teams have to face in MotoGP and reveals his strategy. Nevertheless, Davide Brivio does not fear these threats as he is interested in a long-term plan to turn Ogura into a serious player in the world of MotoGP racing.
In Conclusion
Depending on who will get the last seat in the MotoGP next year, Ogura may be joined by two other rookies next year as Fermin Aldeguer could be officially signed by Gresini and Somkiat Chantra may be signed by the LCR team. These young talents are likely to face trials in the coming years depending on how Davide Brivio will shape them, alongside the pressure involved with an independent team.
Whether Trackhouse can hold onto its rising stars in the face of interest from factory teams remains to be seen, but one thing is clear: For the sixth time in his career, Davide Brivio is staking on the future of MotoGP, and it has never been riskier. Soon fans and followers of MotoGP will find Ai Ogura a promising and tough rider in the industry.
