TEAM VRT KTM NORDPESCA HOLLAND FOCUS ON 2021

After an intense 2020 season, different than all the others due to the impact of Covid-19, team VRT KTM Nordpesca Holland is working on the future and will enter the 2021 European championships with a new line up.

The season just ended a few weeks ago, and it’s already time to prepare the next one even if the first races will be scheduled later than usual. For Mickael Vrignon, owner of the team based in Vendee near Les Sables d’Olonne, everything is already organised to welcome two new riders in the team.

Mickael Vrignon, Team Owner: “We’ll have three riders under our awning in 2021. But before talking about the future I want to thank Tom (Guyon) and Saad (Soulimani) for their investment with us during the past seasons, I wish both of them all the best for the future. Next year we’ll continue to work with Cayenne Danion, who will turn eleven next month; this year he had no 65cc races, so he starts training on an 85cc, to prepare the 2021 French and European championships. We have a long commitment with him,” says Mickael who will have a European squad next season as one British and one Spaniard rider joins the team.

“During the season I watch races, talk and analysis before signing two young prospects: Eddie Wade and David Braceras. Both are young, got already top results, and our goal will be to help them to clinch European podiums but also to perform well in national championships as Eddie will race the French Elite and David the Spanish series.”

Seventeen years old and 85 World Champion in 2017, Eddie Wade was unfortunate this year as he couldn’t confirm his EMX125 podiums of last season due to two collarbone injuries. For David Braceras 2020 was a great year, as he finishes runner up in the EMX125 series with two heat wins and five podiums. David will now jump on a 250 and join Eddie in this class.
