Krummenacher Quits MV Agusta
Reparto Corse
C
urrent World Su-
persport Champion
Randy Krummenacher
quit the MV Agusta
Reparto Corse team after
just one race.
The Swiss left Yamaha
last year after winning
the title at the final race
of the season in Qatar to
join MV Agusta. Howev-
er, that turned out to be
a short marriage, citing
"technical irregularities
and personal integrity" as
his reasons for the early
termination.
Krummenacher posted
a press release, stating,
"This is not a pleasant
situation and I never
wanted any of this. The aim was to fight for the
world title once more but unfortunately, the
foundations needed to move ahead with the
project with MV Agusta Reparto Corse are not
there. I have had to take this decision in order
to preserve my moral and professional integ-
rity, as well as my safety."
MV Agusta was blindsided by Krummen-
acher's decision to leave the Varese manufac-
turer, and issued its own release, stating, "MV
Agusta Motor S.p.A. had no knowledge of the
rider Randy
Krummenacher's decision to terminate his
contract with MVRC S.r.l. after only competing
in the first race of the 2020 Supersport World
Championship.
"It being understood that this decision
comes as a total surprise to MV Agusta Mo-
tor S.p.A., who learned about it
through the media. MV Agusta
Motor S.p.A. points out that
MVRC S.r.l. is a completely inde-
pendent company which partici-
pates in the Supersport World
Championship as a private external team. This
apparently sudden decision by the rider was
completely unexpected as the company had
received no prior warning signs about a pos-
sible contentious situation from either Krum-
menacher nor from the MVRC team.
"Due to the fact that MV Agusta Motor S.p.A.
has no direct contractual relationship with the
rider, we will start a comprehensive investiga-
tion concerning this matter and reserve any
and all rights to take all proper legal actions to
protect our brand image and reputation." CN
