Maximilian Kofler (born 18 August 2000) is an Austrian motorcycle rider,[1][2] contracted to compete in the 2022 Supersport World Championship with CM Racing Ducati.[3]

Career

[edit]

Junior career

[edit]

Kofler started racing bikes at age seven, and competed in MiniMoto and SuperMoto bikes from 2007 until 2016, winning both Austrian and German championships.[4]

In 2017 he competed in the Italian Moto3 Championship and finished the season 8th in the standings. He graduated to the Moto3 Junior World Championships, where he competed full-time in 2018 and 2019 with limited success, finishing 25th and 17th respectively.[4]

Moto3 World Championship

[edit]

2017

[edit]

Kofler made his debut Grand Prix wild-card appearance during his home round at the Red Bull Ring in 2017, finishing the race in 23rd.

2018

[edit]

He once again made a one-off appearance in the 2018 season's Austrian GP round, this time finishing in 29th.

2019

[edit]

Kofler would race in two Grand Prixs in the 2019 season, finishing 20th in Austria, and 28th in Great Britain.

2020

[edit]

He became a full-time Moto3 Grand Prix rider in 2020, signed by the CIP Green Power team to partner Darryn Binder. Although Kofler did not score a single point during the year, he was retained by the CIP Green Power team for the 2021 season.[5]

2021

[edit]

The 2021 Moto3 World Championship saw improvements from Kofler, finishing 15th and 14th in the first two races of the year in Doha, Qatar, before a serious accident in Mugello fractured four vertebrae in his chest, causing him to miss an extended time of the season.[6] He returned with a 9th place in Austria, but that was his last point scoring finish of the season, ending the year with only 10 points, 26th in the standings. Kofler was not given a new contract for 2022 by Moto3 teams.

Supersport World Championship
