GOLDEN BOY<br />

Matthias Walkner has to be a favourite<br />

son in Mattighoffen. The 31-year-old<br />

Austrian has been with KTM as a test rider<br />

since 2004. In 2012 he won them the MX3<br />

motocross world championship. In 2015<br />

he converted to rallies and while its been<br />

a bumpy ride (DNF in Dakar 2015, then a<br />

broken femur in Dakar 2016) it all came<br />

together in 2017 as placed runner-up to<br />

Sam Sunderland in Dakar 2017 and came<br />

into this Dakar having won the final round<br />

of the 2017 FIM Cross Country World<br />

Championship (the Rallye du Maroc). We<br />

can’t see him going anywhere else anytime<br />

soon – and in fact KTM have him signed<br />

up to 2020.<br />
