Ducati MotoGP team manager Vittoriano Guaresch♐i is to leave the squad and run Valentino Rossi's new Moto3 team.

A statement has been released by Rossi's 'VR46' c🗹ompany confirming the appointment, however Ducati ar🍨e yet to comment.

Former racer and MotoGP tes꧂t rider Guareschi has been at Ducati for 13 years, being promoted to team manager ✨in 2009.

Although present during Rossi's disappointing t🎃wo-year spell at Ducati, Guareschi remained on good terms with the seven time MotoGP champion and is valued for his experience as both a rider and manager.
