CRG: out: Jordon Lennox-Lamb, in: Paolo De Conto

Toch een kleine verrassing in de KZ(1)-klasse; de Brit Jordon Lennox-Lamb – die fabriekspiloot was bij CRG – verlaat zijn team en gaat naar Birel vanaf dit jaar.
De vrijgekomen plaats bij CRG wordt meteen opgevuld door Paolo De Conto.

Benieuwd of ze bij CRG weer de successen van 2013 kunnen halen, toen Max Verstappen vele prijzen bijeenreed. Het kwakkeljaar 2014 willen ze duidelijk snel vergeten.

Teambaas Giancarlo Tinini z’n commentaar:

“Paolo [De Conto] is certainly one of the main interpreters of KZ in the recent years. In 2015 he will be among our ranks and I believe he will give his best to get the success he deserves. Lennox decided to go through a different path. He has received a very good offer, one to which it is difficult to say no. We are happy for him, and we are proud of having launched him among the top-drivers in the world as he has been shining with CRG since 2011.”

Ook een Belgisch tintje aan dit verhaal; de ervaren Belg Glenn Keyaert vervangt Euan Jeffery als ‘sporting director’ bij het Italiaanse team. Euan gaat naar de R&D-afdeling. Glenn kennen sommigen onder jullie misschien wel bij z’n nickname glancia35 die hij op allerhande fora en sites gebruikt(e).

“Euan Jeffery, who held the role of sporting director greatly in these years, moved to that of managing Commercial R&D in 2015. This strategic role for the development of our company will have the goal of supporting and improving our sales network as well as of identifying some further partners and markets to operate on. Glenn Keyaert, who has been with us for some years now and has a great knowledge of racing and logistics, will take on the role of sporting director instead.”
