After four years in MX2, Tom Vialle left Europe to have his first season at America in the Supercross and Motocross categories and, looking to his performance, the rider spoke of where he needs to improve.
Speaking to GateDrop, the french rider who was in 2020 and 2022 MX2 world champion, spoke of how adapting to a whole new reality is, after moving to USA: ‘Yeah, I enjoy a lot living there. I’m getting used to it now so I really like it. Supercross was tough at the beginning of the year, obviously I never raced or rode Supercross in my career before so it is only my first year. Right now it’s only one year that I have raced Supercross and it is way different’.
He is confident however on what the future can bring, also not forgetting he is improving at the class: ‘I am getting a little bit better but I still need to improve in the whoops so I am going to work on that this year to be ready for next year’.
Vialle then spoke about a particular aspect he needs to improve: ‘For sure. I mean around the track I am one of the fastest or close to the other guys but I need to improve my whoops. […] I need to be more consistent on the whoops, that is really where I need to work. I do some good passes 1-2 times but then when I messed up a little bit I lost a lot. In Supercross when you lose like half a second or one second, it is a lot and tough to make it up again. I need to work on that this winter’.
The french was 8th in Supercross and despite not being in seven rounds, and, in Motocross he finished 6th but missed six rounds.
