From Vital MX
The team manager role for teams is typically filled by ex-racers or someone who has been in the industry for many years and knows the in’s and out’s of the sport. Mike Bonacci became the team manager of the Muc-Off/FXR/ClubMX Yamaha team through a different route. His marketing background and outside the industry view was appealing to team owner, Brandon Haas. Mike is upfront and open in his press releases and pre-race reports and wants to let us see behind the curtain of the team. I called Mike up recently to ask how he got the role and talk about how things are going.
