Razlan Razali details the painful collapse of the CryptoDATA RNF team and reveals his next MotoGP move.
For the first time since 2019, a Sepang MotoGP pre-season test took place without Malaysian Razlan Razali as a Team Principal.
"The Selection Committee will be reviewing applications for a new Independent Team, using Aprilia machinery, to join the MotoGP class grid for 2024.” A deal was done that saw CryptoDATA acquire 60% of the RNF team from Razali, who had already secured a switch to Aprilia, the big improver of last year, for 2023. Five-time KTM race winner Miguel Oliveira and young talent Raul Fernandez joined to form a strong rider line-up and podiums looked a realistic goal.
“Not to say that they've done anything bad or whatever, it's just in my opinion they failed to honour their obligations. “So, after discussing with my family, I thought it's just best for me to resign as director. I did not resign as a team principal until the end of the last race because I felt obligated to the team.
The fact many former RNF staff, from team manager Wilco Zeelenberg downwards, have been hired for the new Trackhouse project is “the most important thing.”“Money is still owed from last year, but at least the future is secured for them. I wish there's some solution for whatever is outstanding to be settled from last year, which I think in due time there will be.CryptoData RNF Aprilia team, Valencia MotoGP, 23 NovemberRazali admitted that seeing his MotoGP dream fall apart left him depressed.
“From the team launches we’ve seen, besides Pertamina that was already present, what new sponsors are there? None. They go from one team to the other but it’s the same sponsors,” Razali explained.“There are still opportunities out there. It's just that teams are so preoccupied either with what they are doing , or they don't have the right resources or connections to introduce MotoGP to new groups of sponsors and investors.
That year saw Quartararo and Morbidelli claim the first ever MotoGP wins for a satellite Yamaha team, the Frenchman leading the early world championship standings before Morbidelli finished runner-up to Suzuki’s Joan Mir. Despite all the on and off-track difficulties last season, Oliveira came close to a podium on several occasions and Fernandez claimed a career best fifth in the finale. RNF finished eighth out of eleven in the teams’ standings.
