Dean Gregoire will be riding in the Voss KTM Racing colors next year. KTM dealer Vos Oss Motoren has been supporting the talented youngster from Geldrop for several years, but the partnership will be taken to an even higher level in 2022. The 11-year-old Gregoire will also receive official support from KTM Austria and Alpinestars Italy.
The focus of Voss KTM Racing, where Gregoire will be the sole rider, is on the EMX85 North-West Championship. The Geldrop-based motocrosser is one of the youngest participants in this class, but that doesn’t stop him from achieving great results in this competition. Last year Dean made his debut on the 85cc halfway through the season and finished fifth in the standings. The talented rider showed the same speed during the EMX85 final on the Italian sand of Riola Sardo. In 2022 he wants to compete for the podium again.
Dean Gregoire: “I hope I can achieve good results in the European Championship again. One race I’m really looking forward to is the final at the circuit of Loket. We ride there as a side program of the MXGP. That is of course very cool.”
In his first full year on the KTM 85 SX, Dean Gregoire is focusing on different competitions so he can gain as much experience as possible. As a rider for Voss KTM Racing he will start in the Dutch Masters, ADAC MX Junior Cup and the ONK, among others. Arie and Remco Vos, Owners of Vos Oss Motoren, are happy that the cooperation with Dean has been strengthened this 2022 season with the realization of their own team, Voss KTM Racing. “Our heart is in motorsports and that is also the reason why we have been supporting Dean for several years. He is emerging as a talented crosser and we are happy to help make things a little more professional. We will do this next season through Voss KTM Racing, which will be officially supported by KTM Austria starting this season.
Dean Gregoire is currently preparing for the new season and will be putting in a lot of miles on his beloved KTM 85 SX. The first race for the Voss KTM Racing rider is on Sunday, March 13, during the Dutch Masters of Motocross. It will take place at Motorsportpark Gelderland-Midden in Arnhem.
