Factory Rider Tony Cairoli: MX1 World Champion 2010 |
| Tony Cairoli, the Red Bull KTM
Factory Racing Team and the entire KTM Orange Family
on Sunday celebrated Tony's victory in the MX1 World
Championship 2010 when he secured the title in Campo
Grand, Brazil. |

Tony's successful defense of his title is at
the same time a triumphant first season with the new KTM 350
SX-F bike.
Tony secured the MX1 World Championship title two GPs before
the end of the season in what was the 24-year-old's first
season with the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing Team. It is also
an important milestone in the history of KTM Motorsport. With
the title victory in the most important motocross discipline,
KTM has illustrated its indisputable competence with a
completely new and courageous technical concept. This further
secures position of KTM as market leader in the production of
sports-oriented offroad bikes. KTM, the company that prides
itself on being always "Ready to Race" places
enormous importance in creating and marketing bikes that allow
offroad sports enthusiasts to win titles and races at events
that span everything from the elite world championships to
national, regional and club level.
Tony, the winner of seven GPs on his factory 350 SX-F wrapped
up the title with two races still in hand after having won 13
of 26 motos in the MX1 class allowing the Red Bull KTM Factory
Racing Team to bring home the trophy from Brazil after the
third last GP of the season. The multiple world champion
was only off the podium once (at the GP of Germany when he
finished in fourth place)
It was a sensational performance also for the revolutionary
new KTM 350 SX-F bike, developed in close cooperation with
10-times Word Champion Stefan Everts, who heads the Red Bull
KTM Factory Racing Team.
Tony Cairoli MX1 World Champion: "Together we set
ourselves an extremely high goal and that we managed to reach
it is thanks to the perfect team and the perfect technology.
It's a fantastic feeling."
As well as Tony's unusual riding talent and 100 percent
professional work of the factory team under the leadership of
Motocross Director Stefan Everts, head of KTM Racing Pit
Beirer and with valuable support in MX1 from Tony's long-term
manager Claudio De Carli, the KTM 350 SX-F four-stroke, the
bike introduced in 2010 also played an important role in the
Cairoli-KTM success story.
Even before the official season Tony rode the KTM 350 SX-F to
victory in the Starcross Mantova pre-season race in Italy, a
sensational performance for the first ever race for the new
bike. Since then he has continually proven that with him at
the controls, this is an agile machine more than matches the
MX1 competition bikes with bigger motors.
