Cairoli<br />
Hot on the heels of a certain Mr Rossi<br />
stepping down - one of the GOAT<br />
takes a bow...<br />
Antonio ‘Tony’ Cairoli announced his<br />
plans at a special press conference<br />
alongside KTM management in<br />
Rome. The Italian will bring down<br />
the curtain on a glittering world<br />
championship career in which he<br />
has become statistically the second<br />
most decorated rider in the history<br />
of the sport and the greatest racer<br />
from his country to have thrown a<br />
leg over a motocross machine.<br />
bows out.<br />
Importantly, Tony gave KTM a first premier<br />
class crown in 2010 (his fourth and second in<br />
MXGP). He followed the achievement with a<br />
further four titles – all with the KTM 350 SX-F –<br />
before triumphing again in 2017 with the KTM<br />
450 SX-F. Together with Claudio de Carli and<br />
his loyal technical crew, Cairoli has been a<br />
mainstay of the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing<br />
team, image and development program since<br />
that first 2010 season. He has won at least<br />
one Grand Prix in all his 18 terms.<br />
Currently, Tony is still very much in the mix<br />
for a coveted 10th FIM World Championship<br />
title. Prior to the FIM MXGP of Sardegna<br />
(ITA), Cairoli accrued one win and five podium<br />
finishes from the nine rounds of 20<strong>21</strong> MXGP.
