TOM VIALLE WINS DAYTONA 250SX MAIN EVENT

3 years ago | Words: Matt Bernard | Photos: KTM

Securing his first victory in Daytona, two-time MX2 World Champion Vialle, who made a full-time move to the U.S. last season, has been in fine form in 2024. After clinching a podium just a week ago in Arlington, the 23-year-old Frenchman continued his impressive performance.

Vialle qualified as the third fastest this afternoon, maintaining the momentum by securing the second position in his Heat Race. In the Main Event, he started off in third place but quickly took charge on the fifth lap, eventually clinching victory with a lead of 4.997 seconds. This win propels him within three points of the series lead.

Reflecting on his achievement, Vialle shared, “It was nice to grab the win after having my first podium last week and now my first victory here in Daytona. The track was tough, but I actually feel good. I didn’t have a great start, but I passed a lot of guys, and it feels so good – it’s amazing to win. I want to thank my team and everybody who works with me and supports me. It’s amazing to race at Daytona and to get this result!”
