Hope is an understatement. Not sure how much he will be able to help in the development, but his connection alone should help boast Ducati's standing with Dorna and FIM.
Maybe adding just some direction and stability will be a step in the right direction...
or getting rid of preziosi.

Not sure about Suter and even less that they are developing the frame separate from the engine.

Rearranging the deck chairs won't help.
They need to patch the hole in the bottom of the boat and bail water.

Preziosi may not be the guy to run corse, but getting rid of him will serve no purpose.
Put someone else in charge and use the talent the man does have.

You are asking Ducati to make a non-Ducati bike? Well, it had already begun so why stop at the L-Twin.

every GPx they make is a non-ducati bike.
According to this Autosport.com article, Audi is expecting Ducati to be closer to the front-runners in 2013, winning races in 2014 & contending for the title in 2015.

Sounds realistic, though not what Ducatisti (like me) want to hear, and probably the primary reason that Rossi is headed back to Yamaha - he simply doesn't have that long to wait.
Crystal Ball says Rossi (prodigal son) returns to Ducati when his time at Yamaha ends and keeps winning races.... [popcorn]

so it shall be spoken, so shall it be...
but what was Gob-meister let go for from BMW???
What happens to Vito?
Back to testing?
Too lazy to look for it, but I hate to quote myself anyway. I knew that they would bring in someone from BMW. What they've done in WSBK is very impressive any way to slice it.
Preziosi is out... sort of

Director of R&D is probably a good role for him, anyway. There, he can play technical while someone else sets the priorities and schedules.
