Galfer to "own the tracks" in 2022
Leveraging its 70 years of experience, Spanish brake components specialist Galfer is aiming to "go all out in this, our 70th anniversary year - we are increasing the number of riders and teams using Galfer brake discs, pads and lines across the world's most important motorbike disciplines in the 2022 season, both on and off-road".
"We are focusing on racing as never before," says Galfer Director General Umberto Milesi. "We have several new additions with the Snipers Team in Moto3, Sherco CH Racing Enduro team and the Dynavolt-Triumph Supersport team all worthy of a special mention.
"On the track, Galfer will have up to 12 riders in the Moto3 class, two riders in Moto2, eight riders in WSBK Supersport 600 and two riders in Supersport 300.
"Some of the standout names include Dennis Foggia (Leopard Racing), Andrea Migno (Snipers Team), Lorenzo Baldassarri (Evan Bros Team) and Stefano Manzi (Dynavolt-Triumph). They will all be fighting for world titles during the 2022 season with help from the advanced technology of our new award-winning Floatech discs and Galfer racing brake pads."
Galfer will be very well represented in the EnduroGP discipline with up to 21 riders competing in the World Championship, including some of the strongest and most successful international riders in the discipline.
These include Beta Factory Team riders Steve Holcombe and Brad Freeman, who have won the most recent world championships, as well as the TM Boano with Cavallo, Ruprecht, Pavoni and Philippaerts and a new addition, the Sherco CH Racing team with Antoine Magain, Hamish Macdonald, Daniel McCanney and Zach Pichon. Galfer also provides components for the Fantic d'Arpa Team and the KTM WP Eric Augé team bikes.
In Motocross, Galfer continues as MXGP sponsor for the second consecutive year and competes in the MXGP 2022 World Championship with 12 different teams and up to 35 riders - including the Beta SDM Corse Team (Jeremy Van Horebeek and Alessandro Lupino), the Honda 114 Motorsport Team (Rubén Fernández and Hakon Fredriksen), the SM Action GasGas Team (Alberto Forato and Andrea Adamo), Diga Procross KTM Team (Thomas Kjer Olsen and Liam Everts) and the MRT Racing Team KTM (Michele Cervellin and Valerio Lata).
The brand will also support several riders and teams in the AMA SuperCross Championship, including Rockstar Husqvarna Factory Racing with Malcolm Stewart and Dean Wilson. Last but by no means least, in Trials, Toni Bou and his Montesa-Honda will once again be leading the Galfer riders - as he aims to win his 31st consecutive world title - alongside Bou's new teammate Gabriel Marcelli.
Other teams who will also be using Galfer products include GasGas, Beta, Vertigo, Scorpa and Sherco. The 2021 season ended with 12 world titles for Galfer supported teams and riders.
