RESPECTED race team manager Peter Doyle has been appointed acting CEO of Motorcycling Australia, becoming the third person in the role since long-term incumbent David White retired in 2014.
The most recent CEO, David Cottee, barely lasted four months in the role.
Doyle, who was the man behind much of Mat Mladin’s success at Kawasaki in Australia and Suzuki in the USA, has been MA’s sporting director for the past two years.
In that role he was responsible for day-to-day operations, sport development, event management and technical support.
MA has simply announced Cottee left for ‘personal reasons’.
Cycle Torque’s Nigel Paterson has known Doyle for decades and welcomes the appointment.
“Peter Doyle is professional, friendly and driven to success. If he has the support of the board of MA he will inspire the staff to achieve greatness, and hopefully that will be reflected in great racing and crowds actually returning to racetracks.
“His experience overseas will be valuable in understanding what it takes to promote and run great racing.”
