"During my professional road racing career I was always considered a very fortunate rider. Certainly, winning 15 World titles, 18 Italian Championships and scoring hundreds of race victories came about thanks to a combination of circumstances in which an element of luck played its part. But in achieving my sporting ambitions the greater part of my good fortune was being a member of the great MV Agusta race team. Thanks to profound technical expertise and professional commitment this was a winning marque that cleverly anticipated revolutionary and effective designs that sustained its success over many years.

Jewels of technical excellence were borne out of this innovation that has continued, many years on, to create the MV Agusta F4. As a passionate enthusiast for MV, it has thrilled me to discover that the superlative F4 is a thoroughly modern example of the finest mechanical art and not a nostalgic talisman to recall a glorious past. Once again I am enjoying the unique experience of belonging to the MV team and of sharing that honour with everyone who has the good fortune to ride the F4 and Brutale".
