KTM’s Favourite Son: Tom Vialle

Four seasons, two MX2 World Championship titles, 24 GP wins and 46 podiums. Yep, Red Bull KTM Factory Racing’s Tom Vialle has undoubtedly been the most successful MX2 racer in recent years, so there’s little wonder the young Frenchman seems to have emerged as the KTM racing department’s new favourite son.

So popular is Vialle with the Austrian factory, they recently produced this tribute video to express their appreciation for the #28’s success in Europe, and wish him well for the opportunity that lies ahead in 2023, when Vialle heads to the USA to race for KTM in both AMA Supercross and Motocross series aboard his familiar KTM 250SX-F.

Keep an eye out for Tom’s mechanic, Australia’s Harry Norton, whose narrative really adds to the video, and helps track Vialle’s incredible journey from MXGP nobody to two-time world champ with a big future ahead of him in America.
