The countdown is on Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport is about to travel to Phillip Island. On the Australian Island the curtain raiser for the 2012 FIM Superbike World Championship will be held on 26th February. Before that, the Bavarian squad will conduct two more tests at this venue. Team BMW Motorrad Motorsport has a new face in its management team with Andrea Dosoli, who is Head of Race Operations.
The 39-year-old Italian is responsible for the race team at races and tests and has been in this position since the beginning of the year. In an interview, Dosoli speaks about his first impressions of BMW Motorrad Motorsport, his expectations for the riders and the team and his duties and targets.
What do you consider to be the major attraction of your role as Head of Race Operations for BMW Motorrad Motorsport?
Andrea Dosoli: “This project is currently the most exciting and interesting project in the motorcycle motorsport environment because I can see that we have the potential to win, to become a winning team. We have a big company behind us, we have the chance to work with experienced and incredibly talented riders, and we are growing into a very strong team. To be part of this project is something I am really proud of, and the reason I decided to join BMW Motorrad Motorsport. I believe that together, step-by-step, we can achieve the results we deserve.”
“Representing a company like BMW gives a big motivation to everyone, but simultaneously brings with it big responsibilities for everyone. I would like everybody in the team to be aware of this responsibility. If that happens, the results will arrive automatically. It is nice to wear a shirt with the BMW logo – but when you wear it, you represent the company worldwide. So in all areas you have huge responsibility. Everyone must be aware of this responsibility, and only then can we do all the work required to be successful. To be part of the leadership of this big project is something I am extremely proud of.”
What have been your impressions of the team so far?
Dosoli: “My impression is that we have a lot of potential in many areas, but the glue required to bind all these areas is lacking. So I would like to do my part to put all this potential together, and to use this potential. I know it is not an easy job, but step-by-step, if we keep the motivation high, we can succeed. To achieve strong results in motorsport all the areas have to be strong. It has to be a coherent overall package. If only one area within a team is weak, you won’t achieve results. So we need to grow as a team, as a group and use our potential to try to improve any weak areas.”
How would you describe your main duties?
Dosoli: “I want to be that glue between all the areas by concentrating and to work on the improvement of our team, day-by-day. It could be that there is an issue at the racetrack, where we are facing a problem. Then, everyone has to help to try to fix this. We can achieve results if everything and everybody works well together, and every member of the team looks beyond his own responsibilities. I aim to be the glue which keeps all the areas together and to keep everybody motivated.”
