When the boss of the Forward team, Giovanni Cuzari, has an idea in his head, he obviously doesn't have it elsewhere. This is to align Moto2 with marked MV Agusta above… Without the said motorcycle present in its stand having anything technically to do with the Varese firm. A feat which would ensure great visibility, but deceptive appearances are not to everyone's taste...
First, within MV Agusta itself, the subject is debated and Kalex, the chassis supplier, has clarified that it is not in question. Even with a last season's version of his opus, a Kalex will still be called Kalex. But during the off-season tests in Jerez, the Forward team had the luxury of running in a Kalex, but also with a Suter, meaning that its choice for next year had not been made.
Will Suter be more lenient than Kalex in presentations? We don't know, but in the meantime, the new drivers Manzi et Granado have done their work. Acting as team manager, Milena Korner comments: “ Eric Granado drove the Suter in times faster than all day yesterday with the Kalex after just seven laps. However, he did not take too many risks because he has to play a final this Sunday in CEV. The Suter doesn't give the same confidence when braking but feels like it's on rails when cornering. Stefano Manzi's impressions are pretty much the same ».
« Now we have to make our choice between the two motorcycles. Suter seems to be a good alternative ". Especially since two Suters are currently committed for 2018 with Xavi Verge et Marcel Schrötter. A reinforcement of two pilots would not be refused for the development of the machine. Even with MV Agusta marked on it?
