Team Manager

“The season is really now coming to its end and every manufacturer, every team is trying to get the best organization for the following year. We had the privilege to receive Stefan Pierer, CEO of KTM and Hubert Trunkenpolz, Member of the Executive Board of KTM AG here with us. We had several meetings to try to reach the best efficiency, together with Pit Beirer, Aki Ajo and myself. Finally, we are very proud and happy to announce our final and definitive 2022 Moto3 line up; Deniz Öncü remains on board and Adrian Fernandez will be joining us alongside Deniz.”

“I would like to say that I have had a really nice two races with Daniel Holgado in Misano and here in Portimao. He is definitely a very promising rider and a real gentleman. What makes me happy with that decision is, that he is going to the current Moto3 World Champion team, which is certainly a good place to do your rookie season. We will definitely be very close to each other and hopefully stay friends and help each other to grow. Thanks to KTM for their never-ending support. I’m very proud about our 2022 line up with Deniz and Adrian!”
