http://www.motomatters.com/news/2009/11/04/livio_suppo_to_leave_ducati.html

now we can tie this thread to the stoner mystery illness thread..

Casey Stoner's three-race absence this summer was a PR disaster, and Ducati's normally superb PR machine seemed to grind to a halt in the face of Stoner's illness. Instead of issuing daily press releases updating the world on Stoner's progress - based on either fact or fiction - and being on the phone to every motorcycle racing media outlet on the face of the planet, getting them onside, Suppo seemed as perplexed as the reporters asking him the questions, and was left repeating the vaguest of mantras to assuage the press onslaught. Phillip Morris made their dissatisfaction with the situation very public, their sponsorship boss Maurizio Arrivabene demanding an apology from Stoner. It is entirely conceivable that Suppo has been offered as a sacrifice to appease the wrath of the tobacco giant.

That would suck IMO.  He seems like the poster child of a team manager.

Suppo to Honda.
Tardozzi to...well, whomever makes him an attractive offer, apparently.

Wow...just wow...

A lot of people are saying that this stuff is all in preparation for Ducati making a play for Rossi. I know that's been discussed to death, that Rossi's denied it, etc. But still intriguing.

Suppo will become the marketing manager for HRC in MotoGP. Suppo worked for HRC in the mid-1990s as the Marketing Manager for the Benetton Honda 250 team. So I guess he knows where he is going and what he is getting in to.
