Paul Trevathan: From Kiwi Roots to MotoGP Crew Chief — Guiding Pedro Acosta & Unlocking the Secrets of the Paddock
What does a MotoGP crew chief really do? In this episode, I sit down with Paul Trevathan, crew chief for rising KTM superstar Pedro Acosta. From his Kiwi beginnings in New Zealand motorsport to leading in the world’s fastest motorcycle championship, Paul shares his journey to the top and what it takes to succeed at MotoGP level.
We break down the crew chief’s role — the bridge between rider feedback, raw data, and race-winning decisions. Paul explains how he works with riders under pressure, the unique challenge of guiding a young prodigy like Acosta, and the culture inside KTM’s MotoGP team.
We also dive into the legacy of New Zealand in motorsports, and how Kiwi grit and resourcefulness continue to make waves on the global stage. If you’ve ever wanted to peek behind the garage doors of MotoGP, this conversation pulls back the curtain.
