WorldSSP: Marcel Schrotter to join MV Agusta Reparto Corsa for 2023

The German rider who has been in the MotoGP paddock since 2008 will switch paddocks at the end of 2022. Next year Schrotter will debut in the WorldSBK paddock in the Supersport class on a MV Agusta. Schrotter will partner Turkish rider, Bahattin Sofuoglu, next year in the official MV Agusta squad.

After securing five podiums in Moto2 in recent years Schrotter is another talented Moto2 rider to make the switch to World Supersport. This season has not been a great year for Schrotter as he sits 11th in the Championship.

Schrotter said of his move to WorldSSP: “First of all, I want to thank Andrea and MV Agusta for their trust in me and giving me this opportunity. I’m really looking forward to this new chapter of my career and can’t wait to start working with MV and the new Team. I’m very excited to be part of MV Agusta history and I want to make history with MV Agusta! See you soon!”

Andrea Quadranti, Team Owner, added: “We are thrilled to have reached an agreement with Marcel. He is a highly experienced rider whom we have been following with our partner Matica for some time. I believe that he is the right rider for our reality. He will be able to build on his experience gained in Moto2 to help the team grow both technically and in terms of results. We can’t wait to to carry out the first test with him and start working to be competitive from the first race on the calendar!”
