A real disaster. Rene Hofer, the official Ktm pilot at the MX2 M Motocross World Championship, has lost his life on Saturday, December 4, 2021, due to an avalanche.

Austria, who was skiing with friends in Austria, failed to protect himself and did not succeed. Two more boys were killed in the accident.

Born January 4, 2002, Rene Hofer was a promise to Motocross. Although there was less experience than teammate Tom Vialle, world champion 2020 and two years older, Ktm was increasingly trusting Rene.

An Austrian double who had started showing good things since the end of the World Motocross Championship season 2021.

Rene, the number 711 sign, had arrived at the World Cartocross Championship in 2020, but a damage had compromised the pretime debut season. Winners, in 2016, of the 85cc European Championship, the 85cc World Championship, and the Adac Cup MX Junior, he competed at the 125cc European Championship in the next two years, taking a fifth and a final third position. Season 2019, on the other hand, was the starting point for the World Championship, thanks to a fourth place in European 250.
