I never saw him race (for real) but was thrilled when I saw him in action at the 1998 Centennial TT in Assen, The Netherlands. On the grid: Gianfranco Bonera, Giacomo Agostini, Phil Read and John Surtees. By the way, take a good look at Bonera's MV ..... yup, that's 6 (six) cylinders
Unfortunately, MV never did enter this bike in to a race.
