Okay,
I'm not too sure of the exact location but here's what I found out: Jeremy
Burgess said, "The Nastro Azzuro Honda team is based in Brussels, next to,
but not attached to the works Repsol Honda team." He
added, "We have a separate workshop in the same building as Repsol
team, but we have no internal access to their areas. We have to go through
external doors. But I like that, I like the fact that the team has
independent sponsorship and independent people. We have coordination and
management from the Italians - which is good, they seem to be good
people."
