Tatsuki Suzuki has found his fi🦩rst role after announcing his retirem🍸ent from racing.

The former Moto3 race winner has taken up a role ♊with Italian suspension firm Andreani, which has worked closely with Ohlins on both consumer and racing suspension since 2005.

The company w൲as originally formed in 1987 by Giusseppe Andreani as WP Italy (its name changed to Andreani in 2005), working with the Dutch suspension company that is now under the Pierer Mobility Group umbrella and is Ohlins’ only competitor in MotoGP, supplying the Red Bull KTM Factory Rac🌞ing and Tech3 KTM teams.

Ohlins, on the other hand, supplies all of the Ducati, Aprilia, Hon🌳da, and Yamaha teams.

The Swedish company also has a strong presence in Moto3, where all of the Honda teams run Ohlins; and it was on this Honda-Ohlins combination that Suzuki found the most success in his car💯eer.

The Japanese rider took four po𝓡diums – including two wins – and four pole positions in the 2019 and 2020 seasons, a further three podiums in 2022, and a third-and-final Grand Prix win in 2023 all with Ohlins suspension mounted to his Honda.

He then retired, unable to find him𒊎self a competitive ride in the World Championship after one season on a Husqvarna in 2024 whiꦕch yielded no podium finishes.

It’s unclear e𝔉xactly what Suzuki’s role at Andreani will be, nor are its details, since it was announced by Suzuki in a social media post with a caption that only thanked Andreani for the opportunity; but his background in competition at World Championship level would seem to point the Japanese, who has made Italy his home for most of his Grand Prix career, in that direction.
