Video: Tom Vialle – becoming world champion

Tom Vialle and his team talk about his second season in the world championship, a season that saw him fulfil a childhood dream and become world champion!

The Frenchman showed his versatility to win on any terrain but also an amazing ability to shun the pressure of going for his first world title and ride to his tremendous potential week-in, week-out despite his relative inexperience at the highest level.

Team manager, Dirk Gruebel, admitted Vialle even surprised the team at times, saying: “He really stunned the whole team that three races in Belgium, we had been prepared to lose points but take points that was a big surprise!”

This is a brilliant watch.
