MV Agusta to World Supersport
MV Agusta will return to racing in 2013 with partner ParkinGo in a new three-year contract that will see the partnership make a tilt at the World Supersport Championship.
The project will place the three cylinder bike from Varese in the able hands of the race technicians whom have already won the World Supersport Championship in 2011 and were contenders in the 2012 World Superbike Championship.
The ParkinGO Team have helped bring about this dream project building a long term link to the historic Italian motorcycle manufacturer whom have in the past accumulated 37 world championship titles, a number of which together with Giacomo Agostini.
The signature of the contract arrived on the day of Claudio Castiglioni’s birthday, whom would be 65 years old today.
Giovanni Castiglioni – Presidente MV Agusta: “To be able to reach this agreement with ParkinGO is personally very satisfying. Taking into account the passion for racing that I have inherited from my father, this is a very emotional decision and I am looking forward to the challenges that will inevitably need to be overcome. Together with Engineer Bordi’s experience, who personally plays a very important role in this project, I am convinced that there are all the elements needed to achieve our goals.”
Giuliano Rovelli – Presidente ParkinGO: “Together with my brother Paolo we recognize the importance of MV Agusta’s return to World Championship Racing and are extremely satisfied to be able to join forces and conclude this accord. From our very first encounter with MV there has been a tremendous feeling and understanding between our management teams, our common vision with regards to this project has been an important element that allowed us to join together in this partnership.”
