The debut on the track is scheduled for next July. “MV Agusta is the most successful brand in the history of motorcycling - he has declared Giovanni castiglioni, President of MV Agusta -. Seeing MV Agusta return to the Grands Prix is ​​a great honor for me. The Moto2 World Championship is very competitive and to be successful it is necessary to bring our maximum technology and experience in the development of racing bikes".

"The dream of bringing MV Agusta back to the MotoGP world championship was born with Claudio Castiglioni, to whom I have always been linked by deep relationships of esteem and friendship, and came true with his son Giovanni – added Giovanni Cuzari, CEO of the Forward Racing Team -. It is difficult for me to express in words what it means to be an active part of a project together with MV Agusta and CRC, two Italian excellences that have created the most beautiful motorcycles in history. I have worked for many years to make all this happen and now I feel proud to be able to announce the entry of MV Agusta into the Moto2 World Championship together with the Forward Racing Team. I am also aware of the great responsibility that having such a prestigious brand on the fairings of our motorbike entails. Our team, alongside MV Agusta and CRC, will do our utmost to achieve, in the shortest time possible, what we, first and foremost, and all the enthusiasts, dream of".
