Trackhouse team principal Davide Brivio will vacate his role at the end of the 2026 MotoGP season ahead of a widely expected move to Honda, it has been confirmed.

The American squad communicated his impending departure from the team following the sprint at the Catalan Grand Prix, in which both Raul Fernandez and Ai Ogura finished inside the points.

In a dedicated press release, Trackhouse lauded the Italian manager, praising him for bringing his “wide-ranging experience, know-how and foresight” to the project and delivering "enormous benefit” to the team.

No replacement for Brivio was announced, but the team noted that “a new leadership structure for the MotoGP team is currently developing”.

“Davide has been instrumental in establishing the Trackhouse MotoGP Team as a powerful force in the sport. His expertise, experience, and vision have proven vital in the creation and development of our race team,” said Justin Marks, Founder and Owner of Trackhouse Entertainment Group.

“We’re all extremely grateful for the work he has put in and wish only the best of luck in his future endeavours. As for our team, we have an extremely exciting and bright future and cannot wait to announce our new leadership and other significant developments in the coming months".

Brivio led Trackhouse’s entry into MotoGP in 2024 after it took over the erstwhile RNF Racing operation from previous owner Razlan Razali.
