MV Agusta will be making a return to world championship racing. Today, the iconic Italian brand they will be teaming up with the ParkinGO squad led by Giuliano Rovelli to race the company's new three-cylinder F3 675 machine in World Supersport for the 2013 season.
The choice of ParkinGO to run the MV Agusta WSS effort is a logical move. ParkinGO has experience of developing different machinery, having raced Triumph's 675 Daytona in the World Supersport class between 2008 and 2010. The team then lifted the World Supersport title in 2011 with Chaz Davies, after switching to Yamaha's YZF R6, a bike which had not been raced the previous year. The team then moved up World Superbike with Davies, racing an Aprilia RSV4, on which the Welshman scored a win and three podiums.
Though no rider has yet been named, GPOne.com is reporting that Luca Scassa will be signed up to race the F3. Scassa knows the team, having partnered Davies for the team in 2011, and knows MV Agusta, having raced with the marque in Superstock 1000 in 2006 and 2007.
Below is the official press release from ParkinGO announcing the collaboration with MV Agusta:
