Sometimes a rider comes along that simply looks right on the bike – Dutch teenager Kay de Wolf is one of those riders.
One of the hottest prospects in world motocross, the young Dutchman enjoyed an impressive debut MX2 season in 2021, claiming four overall podiums and one race win.
The photo used above was taken by BikesportNZ.com at the Junior Motocross World Championships in Australia in 2018, but in this more recent video clip we hear de Wolf talk a few days after the final round of the 2021 season as he goes over his career so far, and learn what the future might hold for the stylish Husqvarna FC 250 racer.
One of the hottest prospects in world motocross, de Wolf is working hard to reach the top of the MX2 class.
Enjoying an incredible rookie season in 2021, the Dutchman claimed a race win and four overall podium results, all on his way to securing an impressive seventh overall in the MX2 World Championship.
Possessing a loose and fluid riding style, de Wolf is always an exciting rider to watch.
With his youthful exuberance allowing him to ride hard from the drop of the gate to the chequered flag falling, he’d already delivered two successful seasons of racing in the FIM European Motocross Championships before the 17-year-old progressed to the MX2 World Championships in 2021.
Maintaining his remarkable upward trajectory, de Wolf claimed his first ever overall podium result in just his fourth ever GP, a hugely pivotal career milestone enjoyed at his home race in the Netherlands.
Off track, de Wolf is humble, intelligent, and fully embraces all that comes with racing success – in many ways a shining example of a modern-day racer.
With a clear plan for the future, Kay remains grounded, knowing that every sacrifice he’s made to date has helped shaped who he is today.
