**”Davide Brivio Confirms Wilco Zeelenberg’s Departure from Trackhouse Aprilia Post-2024 Season”**

Davide Brivio announced at the Aragon MotoGP that Wilco Zeelenberg will be departing from Trackhouse Aprilia at the conclusion of the 2024 season.

Davide Brivio, the principal of the Trackhouse Aprilia team, announced last weekend that Wilco Zeelenberg will be departing from the team when the 2024 season concludes.

Zeelenberg, who started with the Trackhouse team when it first appeared as the Petronas SRT Yamaha team in 2019, will depart from the satellite Aprilia project after its second season with the Noale brand and its first season under the Trackhouse name.

In an interview with MotoGP.com pit lane reporter Simon Crafar before last Sunday's Aragon MotoGP race at MotorLand, Brivio, who started with Trackhouse at the beginning of 2024, shared that Zeelenberg's exit was a "very tough" decision. He mentioned that this move is part of the American-owned team's efforts to explore "a different direction".

"We talked about Zeelenberg leaving," Brivio mentioned. "We made this decision together. Wilco deserves a lot of praise for his contributions," he added.

"To be frank, when I got here, I discovered a team that he has assembled over the years. Most of this team will remain the same next year, so he deserves significant recognition for what he has created."

"As Trackhouse, we considered that for our future progress, we needed to explore a new path. While it's disappointing in some ways, it's also a business decision."

"It's never easy, and reaching this decision has been extremely challenging."

Zeelenberg's upcoming plans remain uncertain. Originally a 250cc Grand Prix victor, the Dutchman served as a team manager for Jorge Lorenzo and later for Maverick Vinales within the factory Yamaha MotoGP team. In 2019, he transitioned to the Petronas SRT team, continuing his role as a team manager.
