After a strong and successful 2024 season where he made a lot of great progress, Magnus Smith is taking the step up to the World Championship MX2 class next year!
He will do so with the Danish KL Racing Team, who have raced their first World Championship season in 2024, and now want to upgrade and build further for the coming season.
Magnus Smith:
“I am happy and proud to announce that in 2025 and 2026 I will be riding for KL Racing Team on a KTM 250SX-f. At the same time, I’m moving up to the World Championship MX2 class and I’ll be racing all the rounds in Europe”.
“My ambitions for the next few years are of course high. I hope to be able to race in the top 15 in the World Championship class, and maybe sneak into the top 10 if everything goes right. I know it will be a difficult and big challenge, but I’m ready for it and I’m going to train hard for it. I can’t wait to get started and a new chapter is just around the corner. A big thank you to KL Racing Team for giving me this opportunity”.
Kristoffer Larsen, KL Racing Team:
“We are happy and proud that we as a team have made it through our first World Championship season. It has been challenging and very hard work, but it has been worth it and a great experience. We have gained a lot of experience and we feel ready to expand our team. Therefore, it is with great pleasure that we welcome Magnus Smith”. I
“It will be exciting to see Magnus and the rest of the team heading south in week 42, where we start preparations for 2025. We believe that Magnus can contribute a lot of new and good things to our team, and we look forward to seeing how far we can take our new collaboration. Finally, I would like to say 1000 thanks to Nikolaj and Mathias from Westside Racing for their constant support and great service. Without their help it would be a very difficult journey. We will reveal the team’s overall plans later this year. Maybe there’s more news to come!”
