EVERTS EXTENDS KTM CONTRACT

Red Bull KTM Factory Racing took another step towards cementing its FIM Motocross World Championship MX2 line-up for 2024 with confirmation of a multi-year contract extension for Liam Everts . The son of MX icon Stefan Everts will enter his second Grand Prix term with the works crew alongside current teammate Andrea Adamo . Everts is a factory rider ‘ rookie ’ in 2023 and has already impressed in KTM factory colours . Highlights of the season include four podium finishes – the first MX2 trophies of his career – and his maiden Grand Prix victory in Germany last month . The stats read as even more impressive by the fact that 2023 is only Everts ’ second season at the world championship level . After he recovered from a broken finger at the beginning of his debut campaign in 2022 , he was soon a regular name inside the MX2 top ten , logging four top-five moto results and rising to 10th in the championship standings . “ I ’ m really happy to extend my contract with KTM and to have found a ‘ home ’,” explains Everts . “ I ’ m working really well with the team and have been building my way to the front . The progress we have made this year has been very good and very nice , and to have won a GP already is above expectations . I ’ m hungry for more . To continue in orange is what I wanted and now I ’ m looking forward to a couple more seasons together .” Plucked to star in Red Bull KTM Factory Racing colours for 2023 , Everts has again learnt and progressed . He sprayed podium champagne for the first time in Italy and the Grand Prix of Trentino ( round four ) and has since taken the factory KTM 250 SX-F to the rostrum on three other occasions to date : France , Germany and Indonesia . He sits 5th in the MX2 points table ahead of his home event in Lommel .
