Pit Beirer, Motorsport Director for KTM's racing efforts around the world, made the trip from Europe to Florida for round five of the Monster Energy Supercross Championship.

It's an important weekend for the company, with Chase Sexton is in control of the 450 Class standings and Tom Vialle is ready to begin defense of the Eastern Region 250 title, and Beirer's presence is a sign that the PIERER Mobility AG is heavy invested in racing amid the current financial situation.

What does the future hold for KTM? That will be decided in a boardroom later this month, but as Beirer told Course Heading during a twenty minute conversation, recent success in Supercross and Dakar are a massive motivator for everyone involved.
