This morning Iannone scored a great time and he did it because he had the urge to just over a motorcycle that has enabled it to him . This 'm feeling the urge in all drivers , as in the technical . " So says David Tardozzi , arrived as responsible for logistics and coordination of the factory Ducati team . A role other than that covered Vittoriano Guareschi , necessary after the arrival of Dall'Igna making it surpassed the figure of classic team manager .
David, what is your role ?
"We have about thirty people moving in GP and I act as coordinator , optimizing logistics, from the point of view of costs. The financial aspect of a team is important, the less you spend the more you can invest in technical development . They are also a bit ' a man ' by dressing ' . I conceive races as one stand together , not just a job. This was a spirit that was in my twelve years I have worked in Ducati and I found it . "
How did you get the call?
"The situation has evolved between November and December , but I have always been linked to Ducati . There was a constant exchange of views and my arrival was the natural evolution of this process. "
After many years of Superbike , MotoGP how you found ?
" The Superbike has given me everything and I brought with Ducati at the end of a winning run . Logical at the time to think about that right now MotoGP is a championship at the highest level with extraordinary champions . It 's true that I had never worked with before, but I found that I already knew so many people to welcome me . "
Ducati in recent years has not gone through good times , this is not ever made you doubt your choice?
" I never took into consideration the technical problems even for a minute. I started off as the year zero , with great confidence in the people who are close to me . We do not hide our problems , but also the beauty of the challenge. I do this job with a passion , because I feel pleasure . "
What is the atmosphere in the box ?
" Of great confidence , all the guys are sure that the company has made some important strategic renovations and Dall'Igna is up to the task . But even in difficult times, I have always maintained that Ducati has inside knowledge needed . You just needed to address them , and I think you 're doing . "
It will take time but still , there is the risk that the enthusiasm fools?
"It will be vital to keep morale high , as I said, no illusions . But right now people are motivating each other , they realized that there is fresh air . "
Is there a secret ?
" In these tests, there are three teams on the track, the internal and the Pramac test , but I see only a five Ducati . Cohesion is maximum , we are moving forward together , the exchange is continuous . "
These nine days of testing before the start of the season will be important.
" Fundamental to us. We need information , Gigi especially having just arrived. But his touch is already apparent in this bike and all I wanted to change it works. He's using a great method of working . "
How you can change the GP14 from here to the first race in Qatar ?
" I will not go into the technical, but the test program does not leave much time . It certainly will not be upset . "
