Marvin Musquin: Red Bull KTM retain Frenchman for 2022 in Supercross-only deal
By Team TMX on 8th Sep 21
KTM North America has announced that Marvin Musquin has locked in a deal to remain with the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team through the 2022 AMA Supercross Championship.
Entering his 12th season with the US Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team in 2022, the French rider has become synonymous with the brand thanks to his top level of performance and commitment within the sport.
Musquin enjoyed success at the last two rounds of the 2021 AMA Supercross Championship, and the 31-year-old has proven that he still has plenty to give as he attempts to secure a career-first 450SX title.
Marvin Musquin: Im really happy to extend my contract for another year, making 12 years racing in the US and 14 years in total with the with the Red Bull KTM family! Its no secret that everyone on the team is like family to me. It will be another fun challenge working with the new bike, which will be a lot more work, but thats exciting! I look forward to focusing my efforts on the Supercross series and to the Supercross schedule being back to normal starting back at Anaheim in January!"
Ian Harrison Red Bull KTM Team Manager: Marvin has been an integral part of our team for many years, and I am really happy we can continue working together for another season. He has achieved a lot with our team and been a part of the many milestones we have reached as a group in the U.S. over the last 12 years. Through highs and lows, he has overcome many obstacles and injuries throughout the years, and all the while, he fights back and shows he still has the desire to win as he demonstrated during the 2021 Supercross season.
Roger De Coster Director of Motorsports, North America: Marvin will be back for another SX season, and I think he wants to prove to us that he is like red wine and gets better with time. After serious knee surgery two years ago, Marvin worked hard to recover, and he is back in top shape, so we feel that and after finishing strong this year in SX with a win and second in the last two races, he will be back capable to perform at a top level.
Musquin will again partner Cooper Webb at Red Bull KTM in Supercross; however, rumours are circulating that there will be a three-person roster. Aaron Plessinger has frequently been linked to the team, but that's not official by any means.
