Uccio Salucci claims that Japanese manufacturers Yamaha and Honda poached their technicians, stating, ‘Yamaha and Honda took away our people, not us to them’.

Pertamina Enduro VR46, a satellite MotoGP team, has been experiencing significant success in recent years, including helping Marco Bezzecchi finish third in the championship. Their competitiveness is largely due to the Ducati bikes they operate. However, this success has come at a cost, with rival teams, especially Honda and Yamaha, poaching their technical staff. Despite this, team director Uccio Salucci is optimistic, stating that being a target for rival teams is a sign of their success. He notes that the departed technicians have been replaced with new staff from Pramac, a fellow Ducati team. Salucci believes the situation is a sign that they are doing something right, and the team is committed to continuing to improve and compete at a high level.
