Dirk Vansummeren comes with DVS Junior Racing KTM
For the coming season, the DVS Junior Racing KTM will compete in the European Championship 65cc and 85cc with three riders. Dirk Vansummeren who was active in the EMX125 last season. The British Harry Dale will compete in the EMX65, the Dutchman Dean Gregoire and Belgian Jarne Bervoets in the EMX85!
Despite his 8 year old age, Dale is already a two-time ONK champion. In 2020 he won the 50cc title and in his first 65cc KW season he also immediately won the title. The Liverpool-born rider will be active in both the ONK and EMX in 2022.
The 11-year-old Gregoire is also a two-time ONK champion. The rider from Geldrop won the 50cc title and won the 2021cc GW title in 65. He then switched to the 85cc GW and there he immediately qualified for the EMX85 final in Italy. Gregoire finished fifth in the EMX85 North-West!
The name Bervoets is new at KTM but needs no introduction. Jarne Bervoets is of course the son of multiple GP winner Marnicq. The friendly Belgian, like Gregoire, managed to qualify for the EMX final and scored three points. The 12-year-old rider managed to achieve a number of strong results, showing that he is made of the right stuff.
The riders' program will consist of the European Championship 65cc-85cc North-West. The aim for the EMX is initially to qualify for the grand final in the Czech Republic. In addition, the 2022 World Youth Championships will be held in Vantaa, Finland. The riders also hope to be able to take action there at the end of August. Later in the season, we will look at expanding the calendar with competitions in the Netherlands, France and Germany.
We thank everyone at KTM Austria who collaborated on this project. We are very happy with the support and trust and feel Ready to Race
