WSBK » Chili turns to management with Guandalini

This team will be flying next year!

Whats with the sunglasses Franky

great rider, brilliant to watch. none of this sliding sideways stuff, but proper smooth riding. see him at brands on the ducati 998.5 was great, his style that day was superior to anyone else on the new ducatis

great bloke too, had the pleasure or meeting him twice before he retired.

good luck to them next term

He WAS a popular Italian commentator until he and Max Biaggi got into verbal fight in a post race interview at Portimao. Things got so bad that Chili had to temporarily close down his web site and the LA7 (Italian network who carries WSBK) was getting requests from angry Biaggi fans that he be fired.
I was wondering how he can be Guandalini's team manager and Fabrizio's personal manager at the same time?

Dakota, I guess it's like Todt junior ( son of former Ferrari F1 team boss ) owning a team in GP2 and being the manager of lots of drivers..I think Massa is one of his charges. It's no bad thing, probably aiding both parties.

i didnt know him and max fell out, its a shame as both are very similar, esp riding styles. and have been team mates before.

im still a fan of both.

The fallout and verbal fight was in regards to Fabrizio (managed by Chili) hitting Biaggi yet again in a race (twice in 2008).
Chili felt he had to defend Fabrizio and let Biaggi know he had made the mistake.
You can check the footage out on utube.
I kind of felt (just like the commentators on the TV coverage that I was watching) that Fabrizio did fault in this instance.
Biaggi and Chili were teammates in 250s and Biaggi outperformed Chili all year round. It probably never went down too well.
Will be interesting having them both in the paddock next year.

have lost touch with you since you retired from racing. have missed a real gentalmen on the race track will you be comming over to the uk this year? we have always been dedicated fans!!! xx
