Tony Cairolli is the phenomenon in the Motocross category. Recently, he made a little more history in the category by taking his ninth world title. A track record before which we bow. The main sponsor has also given him such a nice bow that he will do a test at the wheel of one of the Formula 1 cars of the team that bears his name. This will change him from his autocross single-seaters with which he has fun. But as he is also an official KTM rider, the Austrian brand could not be left out.
It was the sports boss of the Mattighofen manufacturer who whispered into his ear during his telephone congratulations at the end of his race at Assen, which crowned him for the ninth time in his career. Tony Cairolli was therefore invited by Pete Beirer to get your hands on the MotoGP RC16. “ I told him that he would have the opportunity to ride one of our MotoGP » confirms the one who is recovering from fractures to his legs after a cycling accident. “ We have two private tests coming up. In November, in Aragon and Jerez. It will therefore be during one of these two tests because it is not possible during IRTA tests ».
He pursues : " as our two official drivers will be there, he will have access to their data, he will be entitled to a complete program. He is an exceptional driver, few people thought he could come back after two seasons with injuries. But he came back even stronger ».
When he was titled in MX2 in 2007, Tony Cairoli was able to ride the Yamaha M1 in Valencia. He was then impressed by the acceleration of the machine. Ten years later, and at 31, he will do it again with a KTM RC16.
