Italians and Russians. Interesting...... http://www.cyclenews.com/587/22606/Racing-Article/Its-Official--MV-Agusta-For-World-Superbike.aspx
Great news - I just about pee'd my pants watching the Gary Johnson and the MV at the Isle of Mann the year.
Good news I'd say and good luck with your racing! Its a small world and motorcycles bring nations together ... Stick that in your bike-hating pipe and smoke it.
I went this year - going from my employers base in Switzerland, being involved with a few of the Sidecar efforts (suspension and chassis fabrication / maintenance) . I had some very long days, the course knocks the hell out of the S/cars - well, it knocks the hell out of everything - I ended up doing a lot of shocks and forks - solos - , and doing a fair few metres of TIG beading ). I just spoke to an old mate about this - we worked together at Frasers a few decades ago - and he invoked an old joke we had about the "mafioso" - saying this time it was the "old" mafioso and the "new" mafioso getting together ................. not my take on it, but he is 'into' that way of thinking. Good stuff - it will get us another competitor in WSBK, and the Russian side of things now has a bit of experience , through, I think WSS, and they are not lacking money.
