MotoGP: Vittorio Guareschi to be promoted to team manager at Ducati Marlboro
Vittorio Guareschi, who’ll be team manager at the Ducati Marlboro MotoGP team from 2010, believes he can also help riders with testing and development of the racebike
Vittorio Guareschi, who’s been a test rider at Ducati since 2001, will be promoted to the position of team manager at the Ducati Marlboro MotoGP team, for 2010 and beyond. ‘I’m going to fill a void, in the sense that a team manager role hasn’t existed in the team before. I will be the link between the riders and Filippo Preziosi, who will continue in his role as technical director. I’ll be an advisor to the riders and I will also manage work in the garage,’ says Guareschi, who’ll also continue with his test rider role at Ducati.
The 38-year-old Guareschi, who’s been a part of the development team for Ducati’s Desmosedici MotoGP bikes since 2002, believes he can still help Ducati riders with testing and development. ‘I don’t think I will do it for much longer, though. I’m 38, so I will have to quit in a couple of years time,’ he says.
