  • The team Technical Director is Franco Tomassini. 
Elio Marchetti: "It's a long time project that has finally come true. We are finally ready to get on track in the important and difficult motocross world championship. We are preparing the season with determination and confidence, we need to grow our experience but we hope to make good results as soon as possible. We thank Youthstream for this opportunity, KTM and all our sponsors for their support. We have two young riders but already with some experience, and both have a good potential to emerge'.
