Trackhouse Confirms Davide Brivio to Leave After 2026 as Honda Move Looms

The timing signals Honda’s 2027 management reshuffle gaining pace.

Overview

  • Trackhouse said Saturday it will part with team principal Davide Brivio after the 2026 season and that a new leadership structure is in development.
  • Multiple outlets report Brivio is set to join Honda in 2027 in a senior consultancy or commercial role, while Honda has confirmed Alberto Puig will shift to an advisory post.
  • Under Brivio, Trackhouse took its first MotoGP win with Raul Fernandez at Phillip Island in 2025 and returned to the podium with Ai Ogura at Le Mans, and the team now sits second in the standings.
  • Brivio and owner Justin Marks exchanged thanks in the team’s statement, and Fernandez said he was surprised by the decision after learning of it during the French Grand Prix weekend.
  • The expected Honda role would not be the team manager position, according to reports, which points to a broader commercial push as the factory reshapes its program for 2027.
