Tardozzi returns to Ducati

Ducati Corse wishes to announce that it has reached an agreement with Davide Tardozzi, who returns to work again with the Borgo Panigale, Italy based manufacturer after a period of four years.

The 54-year-old Tardozzi will have an important role within the Ducati Team and will be in charge of the organization and logistics of the Italian squad in the MotoGP World Championship.

The former racer had a very successful career as Ducati team manager in Superbike, collaborating with champions of the calibre of Carl Fogarty, Troy Bayliss, Troy Corser, James Toseland and Neil Hodgson, and contributing to the conquest of seven Riders’ titles in the production-based racing series.

Tardozzi will report directly to Paolo Ciabatti, Ducati Corse Sporting Director and MotoGP Programme Director, and will begin his new role in the Ducati Team starting with the first MotoGP test at the Sepang circuit in Malaysia from February 4-6.
