Daniele Romagnoli, the Fiat Yamaha team manager that runs the Jorge Lorenzo side of the garage will be leaving the team at the end of this season.
This bombshell while Jorge Lorenzo is fighting for the championship title has left everyone flabbergasted, and for a couple of hours in the paddock there were rumors that Romagnoli would not be showing up for the last two rounds, but Lin Jarvis has defused the situation putting the rumors to rest.
The Italian team manager speaking to GPone at Phillip Island explained his reasons for wanting to leave:“I used to work as a telemetry analyst, and I still have this passion to work inside the garage.
I appreciated the opportunity that Yamaha offered me and I accepted it.
It’s been a fantastic experience, but I want to to something different that at the present I can’t do in Yamaha because Jorge already has his crew chief Ramon Forcada, so I’ve decided to leave at the end of the season.
”Jorge Lorenzo was asked about the situation replied: “I’ve heard about this decision, but this won’t change the situation inside the team, and for me, personally this isn’t a problem.
”Romagnoli is now on the market for a job more to his liking, and if other rumors that we heard at the Estoril GP are correct, Peter Benson who crew chief’s for Andrea Dovizioso, is to be let go at the end of this season by Honda HRC, and he too will be looking for a new job.
