The Nooo Yawker finished this season in fourth place with the Ten Kate Honda outfit and tested with MV at Jerez before putting pen to paper.

“I’m really looking forward to this new adventure with MV Agusta. To be joining with the Italian manufacturer is a privilege. Already having a test on the bike in Jerez, I felt really comfortable on the bike after a few sessions. I’m really looking forward this year with MV and seeing what we can accomplish. I’m excited to get to some more tests on the bike and than ready to go to round 1. Thanks MV Agusta for this opportunity,” he said.
