On the technical side, Tom Vialle’s well-respected and experienced mechanic Harry Norton – who helped refine two versions of the title-winning KTM 250SX-F, the 2020 edition, and the brand new 2023 model – will take over the role of Team Technical Co-ordinator while long-standing leader Dirk Gruebel will assume the position of Project Manager for Motocross Development.Ĭlaudio De Carli, the man who guided Cairoli to the six championships between 20, will now oversee KTM racing efforts as the new Motocross Race Director. We are already thinking about our goals for 2023.” I will have some learning to do but I also worked with some amazing people in my career, so I expect to use this experience. I really hope I can bring as much knowledge and passion as possible to this new role.
