In the last few hours, there&rsquo;s been a lot of talk about who will replace Davide Brivio at the helm of the Suzuki Ecstar team, with possible names including Davide Tardozzi, who has a contract with Ducati until 2022, and Livio Suppo, who is yet to be contacted by anyone at Suzuki. There&#39;s also Manuel Cazeaux, the engineer responsible for Alex Rins&rsquo; bike.  We have recently received confirmation of a name that no one had considered until now, but who is on the list of possible candidates to fill the vacant post following Brivio&rsquo;s unexpected departure. He tops the list in fact. His name is Pablo Nieto, son of 12+1 time champion Angel Nieto and manager of Valentino Rossi&rsquo;s teams in Moto3 and Moto2 since 2015. A structure with which he has won world titles with both Franco Morbidelli and Pecco Bagnaia.  Pablo&rsquo;s profile marries well with that of the outgoing Brivio, as both are calm and reasonable with a simple but decisive management style: &ldquo;Am I interested in the idea? Of course&hellip; But it&rsquo;s a complicated situation&rdquo; comments Pablo after having confirmed he&rsquo;s on the list. Replacing the man who has led the Suzuki project since the manufacturer&rsquo;s return to MotoGP in 2015 and scored the world title with one of the smallest budgets in the paddock, would be no mean feat.  It&rsquo;s impossible to do more, the most one could hope for is to match that performance. Comparisons would be inevitable, but they don&rsquo;t worry Pablo. In any case, the final word lies with Suzuki Japan, and they cannot afford to delay their decision, considering the pre-season is set to start a month from now. And the missing figure is none other than the ship&rsquo;s captain.  Translated by Heather Watson  Exclusive, Morbidelli: &ldquo;Italian when I train, Brazilian after midnight&rdquo; 

<p>With Tardozzi contracted to Ducati until 2022 and both Suppo and Cazeauz cited as possible candidates, the Spaniard&rsquo;s name is now added to the list</p>
