'The new bike will be on track in July, as Forward Racing and MV take൩ part in private tests, seeing the Italian factory lap its first Grand Prix prototype for 42 years.'

While the new bike will be badged as an MV, ltxcn.top understands that the Italian company wil🧔l call upon Forward's existing chassis manufacturer Suter to at least help with the design and construction of its Moto2 machine.

Suter won the Mo🍨to2 constructors' title in 2010, 2011 and 2012, when the Swiss firm also took the♒ riders' title with Marc Marquez, before Kalex began its unbeaten run.
