After a knee operation, Tony Cairoli has had extra time to get himself back in race-shape with the Covid delay, and you can see that he is looking strong in the sand just over a month away from the start of the 2021 World championship.
But speaking to OnTrackOffRoadâs Adam Wheeler, Cairoli said he hasnât made a decision yet on if this will be his final year or not – and it all depends on how his knee holds up and the speed he can show.
I want to see if I can still improve but I know the level of performance is unlikely to go up,â he admitted. âA lot depends on my condition and the knee. Thatâs why, right now, I donât know where I am [with speed and feeling] because I still cannot really push because of this injury following me around.â
âLast year was very difficult for me but I think if my knee can be in a bit better shape for 2021 then I should be able to fight for the championship,â he added. âThis is my goal and then the next season depends on how I feel.â
