That's a move that works, if you ask me. David Munoz is currently Alex Rins's crew chief, and putting him with Jorge Martin to watch over his adaptation to Yamaha. Having watched this stuff firsthand, the bridge between rider and machine comes down to the crew chief. How far Martin can ride it — the chemistry in the pit is the key.
