Hitachi KTM fuelled by Milwaukee is pleased to announce the signing of Isak Gifting to a two-year contract. Gifting will pilot a KTM 250 SX-F alongside Conrad Mewse in the 2022 FIM Motocross World Championship and ACU British Championship. The duo will form an exciting and competitive line-up.
Gifting made his MX2 debut halfway through the 2020 FIM Motocross World Championship and was quick to impress. It took him just seven rounds to break into the top three; he took a career-best finish of second in moto two at the Grand Prix of Lommel. Various injuries and issues hindered him during his first full Grand Prix campaign, but he still finished in thirteenth in the championship standings and took third in a moto at the Grand Prix of Trentino. Hitachi KTM fuelled by Milwaukee are excited to help him unlock his potential.
The Hitachi KTM fuelled by Milwaukee squad look forward to a successful campaign, both at home and abroad, and will share more news regarding plans for the future in the coming weeks.
Isak Gifting: “I am very excited to start working with Hitachi KTM fuelled by Milwaukee. I think it is an amazing group of people and the material is going to be great as well. The whole team is very competitive. I think that we are going to be able to do great things in the FIM Motocross World Championship and it is going to be nice to do the ACU British Championship as well. Hopefully we can take the win there!”
