Wilco Zeelenberg, teammanager of the trackhouse racing motogp team, just heard last week that he will be fired after this season. Again (just like with Bo Bendsneyder) this didn't went down in a good way. There were no signs that he didn't do his job right and also Miguel Oliveira doesn't agree with the decision. Because Wilco has raced for 15 years himself, he knows what the racers need and understands them.
Wilco told ziggo sport in an interview how it went. He lost his father just before the Austrian GP and because of that he wasn't there in the race weekend. When he came back everyone suddenly had a new contract, something that is normally his job to do, and he didn't got one. So exactly one week after losing his father, the team told him he was fired. The weekend in Aragon and last weekend in Misano were very hard for him. He is comitted to finish this year and give his all for the team, but he is very disappointed that the trackhouse slogan ("We are trackhouse") doesn't seem to be as true as the team made it out to be. He hopes he can continue to work in the motogp paddock next season

Let us not deceive ourselves, motorcycle racing has never been a team sport, like football or basketball. In fact, it has always been said that the first person you must beat is your teammate. If you surpass your teammate, your value within the team rises; if they outperform you, the opposite occurs, and your value diminishes. In this world, it is as straightforward as that.
During my last three years at Yamaha, my teammate was Valentino Rossi, who was already a veteran rider at the time. Each of us trained following our own methods. While he practiced dirt-track riding on the ranch he had built near Tavullia, I trained with my father in Gerno di Lesmo, a few kilometers from Monza. Yamaha had a factory and the headquarters of the MotoGP team there. They had a not-so-large asphalted area where they tested the bikes that came out of the factory. We took advantage of that space for our exercises.
It was the 2013 season, and Rossi, who had just returned to Yamaha after two very challenging years with Ducati, was struggling to regain competitiveness. He couldn't reach the podium and was always trailing behind me, Marquez, and Pedrosa. Naturally, Yamaha was interested in improving Rossi’s performance. At the end of that season, things began to happen. First, I learned that my physical trainer, Antonio Cascini (who had been recommended to me by Yamaha), had met with Rossi and his trainer in Tavullia. I will never know what he told them, but I imagine he must have explained how I trained. For that reason, among others, I decided to part ways with Antonio. Weeks later, I found out that Valentino had started training with bikes identical to the ones I used in Gerno (a Yamaha R6 and a Yamaha YZ85), also performing similar exercises. It was clear that someone at Yamaha had told him about our training routines. Whether it was a coincidence or not, Rossi began 2014 being much more competitive, and at the end of that year, after a challenging season for me, he managed to beat me, finishing as the runner-up in the world.
All the teams in the world championship have a single team manager, but at Yamaha, the situation was slightly different. Since the factory allowed Rossi to implement that famous “wall” in early 2008, they had no choice but to split the team manager role into two people. Until the end of 2009, Davide Brivio took care of Rossi’s side, while Emanuele Romagnoli handled mine. But their differences with Ramon Forcada from the very beginning were significant, and the team’s atmosphere was deteriorating, so they decided to move Romagnoli to the Tech 3 team as Cal Crutchlow’s chief mechanic and hired Wilco Zeelenberg for the 2010 season. In 2011, Rossi moved to Ducati and took Brivio with him as his manager, so Yamaha promoted Maio Meregalli to be the team manager, coming from the Superbikes team.
After the incident with Antonio, I decided to talk to Maio. I told him that I did not approve of the brief visit to Tavullia by my trainer or Rossi’s “new” training methods. I could accept them looking at our telemetry or even copying our bike settings before each race, but that was going too far. I also mentioned that, as I already had Wilco and he was more on Rossi’s side, I preferred that he stopped attending the technical meetings we held right after each practice session. I suspected that Meregalli was passing on everything to Rossi’s team. Although it was not personal, but simply a matter of conflicting interests, Maio did not take it very well, and from that point on, our relationship cooled. Nevertheless, I do not regret the decision because I believe I acted correctly in defense of my interests.

SRT quits MotoGP, announcement of new team due at Misano
Tumblr media
SRT joined grand prix racing in Moto3 in 2015 and expanded to Moto2 by 2018, before stepping up to MotoGP in 2019 as a Yamaha satellite team. Running with factory support for Franco Morbidelli in 2019, Fabio Quartararo in 2020 and Valentino Rossi in 2021, SRT forged closer ties with Yamaha than the previous Tech3 squad had in terms of works support. In its tenure, SRT won six grands prix in MotoGP, with Franco Morbidelli finishing as top Yamaha rider in second in the championship in 2020. During the Austrian GP title sponsor Petronas announced it would be quitting at the end of the year, with Motorsport.com reporting the Moto2 and Moto3 teams would be axed. Now SRT has announced it will cease to exist in all three classes from 2022, with a new entity helmed by team boss Razlan Razali and team director Johan Stigefelt to be announced during the San Marino GP weekend. In a statement, Razali said: “We have experienced a remarkable voyage over the past years. “From a small start in 2015 there was a great step for us in 2018 when we secured an entry to the premier class of MotoGP and built a MotoGP squad from scratch. “In 2019 we were on the grid and just four races into our rookie season we were on the front row. “By the seventh race we were on the podium. In 2020 we secured the first race win for a satellite Yamaha MotoGP team in over 20 years and finished second in the overall team and rider championships.

Valentino Rossi, Petronas Yamaha SRT Photo by: Gold and Goose / Motorsport Images “In 2021 we raced with the Greatest Of All Time rider, Valentino Rossi. This is an incredible story. “The team will race its final race in Valencia and we thank all our crew, riders, fans and partners for their support. “In particular, we thank Petronas, with whom none of this would have been possible. “Together we pushed the Petronas brand and Malaysian expertise to the forefront of the grid and captured unprecedented brand exposure and coverage, exponentially surpassing all expectations. “We also thank Sepang International Circuit for their vision and support of upcoming Malaysian talent over a long period. “Our collective dream was to have a Malaysian rider competing for podiums in the MotoGP World Championship. “Sadly, we were not able to achieve this in the short life of our squad, but we can reflect upon tremendous success by every other measure. “Our final season has not reached its conclusion yet and we continue to strive for the very best results possible across all three classes. Thank you all.” Interestingly, team manager Wilco Zeelenberg’s name has not been linked by SRT to the new entity for 2022. It is thought the new entity born out of SRT will be backed by WithU, which will step up its involvement into title sponsorship status. Fifteen-time MotoGP race winner Andrea Dovizioso has been linked to completing the 2021 season with SRT in place of Morbidelli, who will be promoted to the factory squad to take Maverick Vinales’ place ahead of a full-time bow in 2022. shares comments Read the full article
