We are just back from Cartagena where Martin's TT Superstock campaign got off to a great start, attached are pictures of the various machines from the MV Factory which sent 3 testers and 3 engineers to run a superbike , a copy of the machine being raced by Luca Scassa in the USA. A prototype of the F4 containing upgrade parts on test, as well as road machine to be put through thier paces. Marting was extreamly happy with his bike and encouraged when riding the development machine. His own bike showed tremendous speed and good stability as well as being very manoverable. He certainly was able to show both the Ducatis' and Suzukis' a clean pair of heals on the straights and when he gets his own suspension in place he is very confident. He had one slight misshap sliping of on a slow corner Unfortunatly the incident was made worse by his boot which was under the bike colapsing and the sole plate, designed to stop crushing injuries, split and cut his foot badly requiring several stitches. He returned to the track to continue testing. His first comment was "It has tremendous straight line speed and a great powercurve It should be an ideal bike for the roads" The factory were well pleased with his performance, the proffesional nature of the team and its spirit. We hope that this will be the start of a long and fruitfull relationship with M V Agusta.Some pictures in the album
