The KTM Sarholz Racing Team is pleased to announce the return of Tom Koch for the 2026 season. The 27-year-old motocross professional will once again compete for the Westerwald-based racing team next year.
Koch looks back on an intensive shared history with the KTM Sarholz Racing Team: During the European Championship and the Motocross World Championship, he gained his first international experience and also secured the ADAC MX Youngster Cup title for the team. The renewed collaboration underscores the trust in his athletic development and his potential for the future.
In the 2026 season, Tom Koch will compete both in the ADAC MX Masters and internationally within the MXGP series. Which specific World Championship rounds will be part of his program will be announced in spring.
With Koch’s return, the KTM Sarholz Racing Team’s 450 line-up is now complete. Together with Noah Ludwig, Tom Koch forms the leading pair of the team.
Tom Koch:
“I am very happy to be part of the KTM Sarholz Racing Team again. The team environment suits me perfectly, and I am highly motivated for the 2026 season. My goal is to remain in the title fight of the ADAC MX Masters until the end. I am convinced that it’s possible, and I will give everything to achieve it!”
Team Manager Andre Sarholz:
“Our contact with Tom never broke off in the past years. We have a trusting relationship, and Tom knows our entire team and our processes – this will certainly make the start easier. We are happy and proud that Tom is once again racing in our colors. He has gained a lot of international experience, and this will help him succeed next year. With Tom Koch and Noah Ludwig, we have a strong line-up. The German fans can look forward to an exciting season!”
