History
'Vitto' Guareschi started racing in the Italian
Sport Production Championship at the end of the
1980s and then switched to the Italian Supermono
Championship after six years. He won Supermono first
time out in 1995 and was then snapped up by Yamaha-Belgarda
to race for the Italian team in the World Supersport
Championship.
Guareschi finished fifth overall in 1996, and runner-up
in each of the following two years, earning a Yamaha
ride in its World Superbike team for 1999. The Italian
scored a couple of podium finishes in 1999 and 2000,
but moved back to World Supersport in 2001 when
he rode a Ducati 748 for the Dienza team.
After being announced as the Ducati Desmosedici's
development rider in April 2001, the Italian lost
no time in completing the new bike's first shakedown
test at the start of August, before Capirossi and
Bayliss were freed from their existing commitments.
2005 will see another busy season for Guareschi
as he continues the development work on the Ducati
Desmosedici.
