Marcel Schrötter will continue with MV Agusta Reparto Corse in the next season of the World Supersport Championship. This year, he is in third place in the championship with one round to go.
The German rider made his debut last year as a wildcard and joined full-time this season. He has shown consistent performance and has already been on the podium, although he hasn’t secured any wins yet.
In a press release, Schrötter said: ‘I am very happy and also glad that I can continue with MV Agusta in WorldSSP. Of course, I looked at other options, which is normal, but in the end, MV Agusta and my current team offered me the best package. I also feel that there has been a lot of motivation rising this year, as we have been able to achieve strong results. We also clearly noticed where we still need to catch up compared to other manufacturers and in which areas we need to improve’.
As for his goals, the German rider aims to compete for the championship title: ‘I sense a lot of enthusiasm within the team […] to take the next steps and improve some things. It starts with more tests I asked for and get promised now, as well as further developments to the bike and the material will be increasingly pushed. That also increases my motivation to fight for victories with this package, the bike, and the brand, and hopefully to be able to intervene a bit more in the fight for the title next year, or to fight for the title. That is definitely our goal together’.
