Just as we previously reported, riders Noriyuki Haga and Michel Fabrizio have both been confirmed for 2010, while Ernesto Marinelli took over the team manager position after Davide Tardozzi left the Italian team for new challenges on board BMW.
Furthermore, Marco Lozej will be the team’s technical manager, while also having the role as track engineer for Michel Fabrizio. Japanese rider Haga also has a new track engineer, Luca Ferraccioli, who will work alongside Marco Frigerio. The final change on Haga’s side is the appointment of a new tire technician, Massimo Meneghin.
The final addition to the restructured team is Una Conway, who comes on board as Team Coordinator and Hospitality Assistant.
“2010 will be a little different but I am extremely confident as well as optimistic,” commented Ernesto Marinelli, the Ducati Xerox Team Manager. “Despite the important reorganization within the team, in reality most of the new members have already been working in Ducati for some time. Both Marco Lozej and Luca Ferraccioli have worked in Ducati for years and have a wealth of experience as well as great technical ability and personality.”
"2010 once again represents a new challenge - we have faced many over the years and in most cases we have come out victorious,” Marinelli continued, “We will be doing our very best to take another title this year; our riders are in great shape and the entire team is more motivated than ever. We’re all impatient to get back on track and are looking forward to the Portimao test.”
