Tsingtao MV Agusta will move into the Pirelli National Superstock 600 series in 2015 after signing Triumph Triple Challenge regulars Max Alexander and Chris Threadgill on a pair of F3s.

The team, who are also fielding Vito Iannuzzo in the MCE British Superbike series, will commence testing in Spain early in the New Year in order to get the pair up to speed.

“I am pleased that we have secured two riders for the championship we have been part of since we came in to BSB in 2010. It is always a very exciting class to watch and the racing is usually fast and frenetic,” said team boss Dave Tyson.

“The MV will have its first full year in the class after one outing last year and has gone through lots of development over the winter. We will be doing some pre-season testing in Spain and this should get everyone up to speed.”
