Manuel Lettenbichler to Red Bull KTM Factory Racing
Lettenbichler had his most successful season yet this year. The young German, who won the WESS Enduro World Championship title in 2019 after winning the last race, also previously rode KTM. In 2020 and 2021, however, this will be for Red Bull KTM Factory Racing. The 21-year-old German joins the factory team with immediate effect as part of a two-year deal.
Over the course of 2019, Lettenbichler has proven himself as one of the world's best enduro pilots. With wins at Red Bull Romaniacs and GetzenRodeo, plus podium finishes at Extreme XL Lagares, Erzbergrodeo Red Bull Hare Scramble and the Hawkstone Park Cross-Country, he achieved a total of seven top-five results from eight races. Additionally, “Manu” added even more silverware to his 2019 trophy case by winning the AMA Extreme Offroad Grand Championship.
Lettenbichler joins Red Bull KTM Factory Racing riders Jonny Walker, Josep Garcia and Nathan Watson for 2020, where he will focus on successfully defending his WESS Enduro World Championship crown. In addition, the young German will also participate in selected AMA U.S. Extreme Offroad Events.
