The champion of the European Talent Cup in 2017 and the SSP300 in 2019 (the youngest world champion in history, He will have Gelete Nieto in front of his box, the eldest son of the eternal Ángel Nieto. The team is owned by Yamaha and Valentino Rossi, who will continue with his Sky VR46 that he captains Pablo Nieto. He was the one who proposed the name of his brother to play the role of team manager that he has been doing for a long time in the teams of The doctor and he assures that it did not cost him anything to convince his boss of this signing.
“Gelete, in principle, will be the person responsible for the Yamaha Moto2 team. It can be called a team manager, sports director or person who manages the team. We are going to ask him to do what I am doing and he will be the link with the team. I couldn’t be in two pits at the same time in Moto2, and even more so while also having MotoGP. We need a trustworthy person to put on that site and Gelete is the one chosen because he has a lot of experience, because he has been here for many years, because we know how he works and that he will go perfectly hand in hand with us. He’s a very valid guy. “
