We just received the wonderful news that Kim Savaste has signed a 5-year factory contract with the Austrian motorcycle manufacturer KTM. The information was confirmed to us by Anu, Kim's mother herself. The 13-year-old Finnish talent has already had a very strong season this year and that has apparently not gone unnoticed by KTM. He came in a very impressive third in both the European Championship 85cc and in the strong German championship. During the world championship in the Czech Jinin he was unlucky twice and could not make a fist. Recently he was shining on the podium, next to the other greats of the world, during the Red Bull give me five in Madrid.

Kim will be able to further develop in peace at KTM over the next five years. That Austrian manufacturer seems to have their affairs in order in the coming years. Because in addition to Jonas Pauls, Conrad Mewse and Jorge Prado, the flow of talent within the Austrian stable seems to know no bounds, especially now that these three can also welcome Savaste as a teammate. Kim will return to work next year in the European 85cc large wheel championship, as well as the German ADAC, World Championships, supplemented with other major international competitions.

The parents and Kim would also like to thank everyone who made this possible. Being KTM, Fox, Multi Air, EHR, Goldentyre, Arai and many others. A special word of thanks also goes to Geert Gelaude from MX-Scouting who has regularly helped the little Finn in his further development over the past year.
