The participation of three teams equipped with three-cylinder F3s from MV Agusta in the 2025 Supersport World Championship is seriously compromised by the economic difficulties of the Pierer group, until now majority owner of the Italian brand since March 2024. These financial problems raise many questions on the support promised to the teams.
In November, the team Motozoo proudly announced its elevation to official team status MV Agustawith the promise of free parts and support for its drivers Federico Caricasulo et
Luke Power. But as soon as this announcement was made, the finances of
KTMparent company of MV Agustacollapsed. The restructuring request filed by Pierer end of November calls into question the commitments made to Motozoo.
With the critical financial situation of the Pierer group,
KTM now looking to sell MV Agusta as part of its restructuring plan. The move could mark the end of all official support for racing teams. The Italian manufacturer's employees themselves fear massive layoffs, while the future of the brand remains uncertain.

For the MV Agusta teams, it is time for crisis management while awaiting clarification on the future of the brand
The teams Motozoo et
Flambboa newcomer in the category with
Loïc Arbelmay not have made the same arrangements. Their ability to compete will depend on available resources and their responsiveness to the situation.
The team Racing Department led by
Andrea Quadranti could also be forced to rethink their identity. It remains to be determined whether it will be able to retain the official name MV Agusta Racing Departmentor if this name will disappear with a possible change of ownership.

For Motozoo, Reparto Corse and Flembbo, it is time for crisis management while awaiting clarification on the future of the brand.
