I have known this for a few days now but was asked not to say anything. Anyhow the cat is now out of the bag and I'm very pleased to read that all I was told is true.
Luca Scassa will be riding the MV Agusta F3 in supersport in 2013. for ParkinGO :-
Good to see him back in the MV fold. I rate Scassa as a rider he has the experience and knowledge of the World Supersport championship and the team knows what sucess feels like.
Time will tell, Mike. Personally, I don't have a crystal ball large enough to predict the outcome.
I'm sure that you've followed the fortunes of Yamaha, BMW and now Aprilia with interest over these past few years because you've owned each of these manufacturers 1000cc sportsbikes in relatively quick succession. Now it's our turn. We have a horse in the race. And it's a beauty.
On this forum you'll recall that some members have pointed out MV's lack of presence on the world's racing tracks and stating that MV are resting on their 37 laurels.
Well, in 2013 MV Agusta & their sponsors are putting bikes on a grid in one of the most hotly contested bike championships out there. Personally, I'm thrilled. The doubters said: "I'll believe it when I see it".
Others wished they would race again.
Give 'em hell boys and thank you for carrying on the racing legacy of, in my opinion, the most prestigious motorcycle manufacturer in history.

I follow my own interests in racing Dave no matter which Bike I own, I would love to see MV back at the sharp end, there is a real and logical reason why the team has decided to run the F3 with Scassa
I think the F3 will show very well, it is a modern high tech motor and chassis set up, I like the idea of contra rotating crankshaft etc.
I hope they apply the same technology to the F4 and come out with another high tech stunner that could not only compete in WSB but win as well
Is this an Aprilia piss take? it's on next years RSV4
It's going to be a hard year for MV. Going back to the world stage is always hard. The F3 is very capable in superstock trim. Just hope the kit parts come along quickly. In the UK we have Steve Mellor tuning our engines for BSB. He will receive help from ParkinGo so we won't be far behind the world boys on the Techy stuff.
I don't think it will be a hard year for MV , I think it will be a great year.
I understand that the guys racing and trying to get good results straight up, will have a hard time, because it's a big tough class to be competitive in, good luck to you - respect.
But for MV and their supporters, I think it will be nothing but great to hear the name MV on TV or see it in the magazine's, I am deeply envious without shame.
No matter what the results, the majority of riders/owners do not look at race results, but will be just proud to see MV back in action.
Good luck to all you guys having a go. I hope it is a roaring success for all of you and your supporters.
I would like Scassa on MV F3 or F4 of WPR in Supersport or Superstock BSB series 2013!!!!
