Jonas suffered a serious knee injury before he could really show what he could do on the world stage in the first year of the new millennium. The former 125cc star was the last home-grown rider to come within the sphere of the works set-up and the sought-after SX technology at the end of the 1990s. вЂњI would definitely not say it is easier for him though by virtue of the fact he is Austrian.вЂќ вЂњThe opportunity to have an Austrian doesnвЂ™t happen very often so if itвЂ™s there then we try to grab it,вЂќ says KTM Offroad VP Robert Jonas.

He will do good.вЂќДў019 вЂ“ Rene Hofer вЂ“ PC from Linz, might have the right passport to generate sizeable interest in the corridors of Mattighofen but once вЂacross the borderвЂ™ of the race team that status carries more weight. From the outside, he might not have the same style as Jorge and Tom but he has a big heart and he is putting in the hours. вЂњWeвЂ™ll approach 2020 as we did with Tom this year: Rene is a newcomer to the class. вЂњTom had a couple of moto wins in EMX in 2018, Rene didnвЂ™t reach the same results in 2019 but was consistent and then he also scored points in the Czech Republic Grand Prix as well as a top ten finish in Italy that was really good and maybe too good because you donвЂ™t want riders to think вЂthis is too easyвЂ™,вЂќ Gruebel says. So, why canвЂ™t Hofer achieve a similar effect? VialleвЂ™s skills and mentality (and the crewвЂ™s work) meant he was able to forge an outstanding campaign. The eighteen-year-old Frenchman had not excelled in EMX and was considered as a вЂgambleвЂ™ and investment by the factory and the race team for 2019. Secondly, the immediate impact of 2020 teammate Vialle. Firstly, two eye-catching MX2 wildcards where he not only scored points but also the ability to break into the top ten with a seventh place overall in the Grand Prix of Italy.

Hofer earned his shot after just one season in the EMX250 European Championship (the feeder series to Grand Prix) thanks to two factors. Red Bull KTM has fielded the leading riders from Italy, France, Holland, Germany, South Africa, Spain and Latvia in recent years, and there is now a special link to the Mattighofen factory and Munderfing race workshop. In terms of pressure, we donвЂ™t know how it will be for himвЂ¦вЂќ There will be a spotlight on Rene but we think it is nice to have a guy from the country where the headquarters is. вЂњThe best motocross rider from Austria at the moment and the best since Matthias Walkner who tried MX2 and ended up being good in the old MX3 class. вЂњHeвЂ™s a local!вЂќ smiles Team Manager and Team Technical Co-ordinator Dirk Gruebel. The teenager has FIM Junior, 125cc and European Championship honors all in orange (and was leading EMX125 in 2018 before a season-ending injury) but compared to all the clout and success of his teammates Hofer has a unique narrative. Converting this quartet into a quintet is Rene Hofer. In MX2 2019 Rookie of the Year Tom Vialle is already touted as one of the pre-season championship favorites after seven podiums and 4 th place in his maiden term during 2019. The combination of Tony Cairoli, Jeffrey Herlings and Jorge Prado means a total of fifteen world titles in the MXGP class. Rene Hofer вЂ“ PC Bull KTM will field the best motocross line-up of all-time in 2020.
