Tom Luthi, who finished 11th in the 2020 season, is “very excited to start this new chapter. It's a great opportunity. I am very excited to start this new season. Our objective is resolutely to play in the lead. We don't want to talk about precise numbers or rankings, but the common goal is to get to the top. I think we are well prepared, with very motivated people. It's really great and I'm also very motivated. »
To Will Bendsneyder, who will pilot a Kalex for the first time after his experiences on the Mistral and the NTS, the step will be greater since 23rd in the 2020 ranking, but he is “ very happy to join this team: the ambition is there, the sponsor is there, and it is a great team.
