However, for those of you who thought the Italian official left Yamaha because of some sort of a conflict between him and Lorenzo, know that Romagnoli was in fact unhappy with the team managing role within the organization. Rarely we've seen people unhappy in team-leading positions, but apparently that's that's exactly the case with Romagnoli.
He insisted that he doesn't think he fits the job description and revealed that being a simple technician is all he had looked for in a job within the MotoGP. Therefore, he'll try to land such a job elsewhere in 2010, as he reckons there's no turning back to his decision to leave Yamaha's factory team.
“The problem is that I'm a technician, I come from a completely different background. When Jorge arrived at Yamaha, I was asked to do a job that isn't mine: the team manager. I don't like organizing, managing, spending the day sending emails. I like action,” Romagnoli was quoted as saying in an interview with Motosprint magazine.
“There's no chance of staying with Yamaha because there are no technical role vacancies: the team has everything it needs. There are a lot of competent, capable people, who work well together. I have contacts with several teams, so we'll see what fruits that will bare in the upcoming races,” added the Italian official.
Yamaha is yet to appoint a team manager for Lorenzo, as the Spanish has been confirmed at Yamaha for another season in 2010.
