I have to agree the bikes and riders for MV performed well despite the final results of the race. Lynn in particular was mixing it up with several former national champs until his tire problems, and perhaps more importantly was ahead of his teammate. All this on what has been presented as a brand-new bike on the steep portion of its development cycle.
Their apparent speed this early bodes well for the program. While it would be tough to beat Suzuki for a race win, several top ten finishes are likely for the two riders IMO. If they both perform more or less equally this year, would both possibly move to WSBK next year?
