Valente with Marchetti racing for 2016

The Swiss rider Christopher Valente has signed a contract with Marchetti Racing KTM Team to race MX2 in 2016. Valente was injured during the MXGP of France and is still not 100% healthy, but he will ride for Machetti Racing KTM next year in the MX2 Motocross World Championship and in the Internazionali d'Italia championship.

“Chris joined us this year when the championship had already started” Elio Marchetti, Team manager said “and he showed a great will to learn and to improve. Unfortunately the injury stopped him for 2015 but he is already working to be back in a good shape for 2016”.

“I’m very happy to stay in this team” Valente replied “where I found a lot of professionalism and passion for this sport. Due to the injury I couldn't pay them off for what they did for me, but next year I’ll do my best. I already feel better and I’ll be back on the bike soon. I can’t wait”
