Dominique Aegerter has been thrown a Moto2 lifeline by the Forward MV Agusta team and will take up the grid slot offered to the disgraced Romano Fenati.

The Swiss rider, born in 1990, will be one of the two riders who will face the new adventure of the prestigious brand from Varese, MV Agusta, which will return, as is well known, in the World Championship, after 42 years of absence.

"I'm very happy to become part of this new team with such an ambitious project. It's a source of great pride for me, as well as a great responsibility. I will give my best to get great results and bring MV in the positions it deserves," said Aegerter.
