While talking to Lewis Phillips on Vital MX, KTM team manager, Ian Harrison, has acknowledged that Tom Vialle does have a decision to make between KTM and other offers, with KTM only offering Vialle a one-year deal with money tighter after the restructering, it leaves Vialle, who has an offer from HRC Honda in MXGP, with a very big decision to make for his career and life.
Harrison said: “I’m glad that he has a couple different options, that’s nice, you know, for a rider always, it gives them some best decision for himself, but at the moment, with what we came through earlier this year, you know, things are not as easy to get through and as quick, and we have to be a little bit more cautious, so we came up with a one year deal and I’m sure that he has a couple other options that are two year deals, so he’ll wait up, he’s been here a long time, he knows who we are, he knows the KTM brand, he knows not only us, he knows Europe, and so I’ll wait for him to make his decision.”
