What's the full scoop on this guy? When he was receiving the trophy the comentators mentioned "lets not talk about him"
crash mentions something about him being very "rossi friendly"
anyone care to elaborate and educate?

At Ducati the current Director Sportif (who's name I can't remember at this time) and Rossi DO NOT get along. They are moving this guy aside and putting Guareschi in place saying to Rossi "We are ready for you when you want to come to Ducati"..

Vittoriano used to be a Yamaha rider: he rode bikes supported by Motoshop of Parma, Italy's largest Yamaha dealer, in various championships and even had a brief stint in the Yamaha WSBK factory team as Haga's team mate on the ill fated R7. Then he went over to Ducati and rode for them in the CIS (Italian championship), mostly using factory machinery to stomp underfunded privateers. Why he is regarded as "Rossi friendly" I cannot say, perhaps the two know each other and get along well.
Next time I'll get to the bikers' hangout on the Cisa I'll try to pick up the latest rumors...

You have many satisfied customers who are happy to have the parts you've made. My suggestion to you is keep making good parts, keep getting more customers, take care of them and let them speak for you."

Ducati Marlboro is set to promote former WSBK podium finisher Vittorio Guareschi from test rider to team manager ahead of MotoGP 2010
The Ducati Marlboro MotoGP team is due to promote long-time test rider Vittorio Guareschi to the position of team manager, according to reports, with the Italian hoping that his first-hand experience of what the riders will be feeling will help to propel either Casey Stoner or Nicky Hayden back to title-winning glory in 2010.
Guareschi was himself a podium finisher in the World Superbike Championship (WSBK) before jumping ship to become Ducati's test rider in 2001, and whilst he admits that he fully intends to continue in that role too, he will dovetail it with a more hands-on approach in the team garage.
“I'm going to fill a void, in the sense that a team manager role hasn't existed in Team Ducati before,” Guareschi explained to Motosprint. “I will be the link between the riders and [technical director] Filippo Preziosi. I will be close to the riders, I'll go on the track to see what happens and I will be an advisor to them. Finally, I will also manage the work in the garage.
“I have been the tester of this bike (the 800cc Desmosedici) since the beginning, so I know it perfectly. In this regard, I can really give the riders a hand. This is why Casey wants me to continue testing too. 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.”

Duane - The guy he is replacing is Livio Suppo, who is decidedly NOT a fan of Rossi. This is fueling all sorts of speculation that this is a move in preparation for Rossi and Burgess moving to Ducati in 2011.
