After retiring before the 2025 season began, Tatsuki Suzuki has announced his first post-retirement role.
A few months after announcing his retirement from motorcycle racing, Tatsuki Suzuki has revealed his first post-retirement role.
The Japanese rider has taken on a role with Andreani, an Italian suspension company. Andreani has been closely working with Ohlins, one of the Moto3 suspension suppliers.
The company was 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 Racing and Tech3 KTM teams.
Suzuki found the majority of his Moto3 success when riding for teams that were supported by Ohlins. The Japanese rider won three Grands Prix and stood on the podium a further five times across his Grand Prix career.
After a disappointing 2024 Moto3 season with the Liqui Moly Husqvarna Inact GP squad, the Japanese rider was unable to find a ride for 2025. Which ultimately led him to retire from full-time racing before the 2025 season began.
It’s unclear what Suzuki’s role at Andreani will be 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.
