With Yamaha Sterilgarda’s Mario Meregalli to head to MotoGP and run Ben Spies’ side of the garage and Davide Tardozzi denying that he’ll be running the Yamaha Superbike team, the spot was still open, but according to Mathew Birt of MCN via Twitter confirmed today, that Andrea Dosoli has been appointed as team manger.
Dosoli ran this year’s Moto2 team Forward Racing (Suter) with Jules Cluzel and Claudio Corti and in 2009 was Marco Melandri’s team manager and crewchief in Hayate, so Melandri will see a welcome face when he tests the Yamaha R1 for the first time at Valencia November 11th.
