After the departure of Davide Brivio at the end of the 2020 season ago, Team Suzuki Ecstar underwent the 2021 season without a team manager and only relied on the team project leader commanded by Shinichi Sahara. Sahara himself was forced to undergo a season with two tasks at once.
And rumors have continued to circulate in recent days that the former Repsol Honda Team Manager, Livio Suppo, will fill the void after Davide Brivio’s death. And it’s official, bro, today Suzuki Motor Corporation and Team Suzuki Ecstar have announced that Livio Suppo will be the Manager of Team Suzuki Ecstar.
Suppo himself has been in the MotoGP paddock for a long time since he started his career 28 years ago with the Benetton Honda Team in the 125cc and 250cc classes. Then he also joined the Borgo factory and enjoyed 11 years with Ducati as Project Leader, while leading Casey Stoner to the world title in 2007 and being Ducati’s only title so far.
Suppo continued his adventure to HRC where he became team manager for seven years, and he successfully presented five world titles through the Repsol Honda Team. Then, since his departure from the MotoGP paddock, Suppo chose to establish his personal e-bike company and was quite successful in his new field, bro.
After a long absence, Suppo feels now is the right time to return to the MotoGP paddock. For Team Suzuki Ecstar, Suppo’s arrival provides a bigger boost and makes the team’s confidence increase ahead of the 2022 season starting.
Suppo’s joining is expected to boost Suzuki’s performance this season so that it can become a strong candidate to compete for the world title again. Shinichi Sahara also set high determination by joining Suppo to Suzuki.
“I am very pleased to announce the news of Livio Suppo as our new Team Manager before the new season begins. I believe Livio is a perfect fit for the position, because he has a lot of experience and a great desire to win. He understands how teams work and that the team atmosphere is important when it comes to being consistently competitive throughout a season. Several of our crew members have had experience working with him, and I’ve known him for a long time because he’s been in the paddock for years. We have seen promising signs and improvements in our performance during winter testing, and I believe Livio joining us will strengthen our team even further and we will become even stronger.” closed the Sahara through the official release of Suzuki MotoGP.
Suppo himself is quite proud of his return to the MotoGP Paddock and Suzuki has full trust in him to continue the project from the Hamamatsu manufacturer during the 2022 season. He feels honored to be a part of the development of the GSX-RR cakkk.
“I am very proud to be Team Suzuki Ecstar Manager and happy to rejoin the MotoGP Championship after four years (quitting). I am also very honored to be involved in this great project with Suzuki; It will definitely be a challenging task to be part of a historic manufacturer in MotoGP, who just won the crown in 2020 in their 100th anniversary year,” said Suppo
“I also feel it will be an amazing experience to start working with two talented riders like Joan Mir and Alex Rins, both of whom are able to compete for the top spot in MotoGP. Sahara-san’s proposal came at the perfect time for me, I was busy setting up my e-bike company but I must have missed the paddock and was ready to go back. Racing has been my life for most of my career and I will do my best to bring my experience to Team Suzuki Ecstar.”
“I know they are a great team, but also a great group of people, so this can help a lot to reach our goals faster. MotoGP is getting more and more exciting nowadays, with many very fast riders and competitive bikes from all manufacturers. It’s a tough challenge for everyone involved, where all the little details can make a difference, I’m ready to be part of this game again and give everything to be on top with Suzuki.” Close Suppo optimistically…(CB iwb)
