Following the appointment of Valentino Rossi friendly Vittoriano Guareschi as Ducati Marlboro team manager comes intensified rumors about the imminent departure of Rossi unfriendly Project Director, Livio Suppo after this weekends final round of the MotoGP championship in Valencia, Spain. Suppo has been instrumental in the team’s success with Casey Stoner but is seen as an impediment to any tie up with Rossi in the future by the Italian press.

Ducati News Today has already argued why Rossi will finish his career on a Ducati.
