MURRIETA, Calif. – KTM North America, Inc. is pleased to announce that Marvin Musquin has locked in a deal to remain with the Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team through the 2022 AMA Supercross Championship. Entering his 12th season with the U.S. Red Bull KTM Factory Racing team in 2022, the French rider has become synonymous with the READY TO RACE brand thanks to his top level of performance and commitment within the sport. Enjoying success at the last two rounds of the 2021 AMA Supercross Championship, the 31-year-old has proven that he still has plenty to give as he charges full-steam ahead towards a career-first 450SX title come January.
Marvin Musquin: “I’m really happy to extend my contract for another year making 12 years racing in the U.S. and 14 years in total with the with the Red Bull KTM family! It’s no secret that everyone on the team is like family to me. It will be another fun challenge working with the new bike, which will be a lot more work but that’s exciting! I look forward to focusing my efforts on the supercross series and to the supercross schedule being back to normal starting back at Anaheim in January!"
Ian Harrison – Red Bull KTM Team Manager: “Marvin has been an integral part of our team for many years and I am really happy we can continue working together for another season. He has achieved a lot with our team and been a part of the many milestones we have reached as a group in the U.S. over the last 12 years. Through highs and lows, he has overcome many obstacles and injuries throughout the years and all the while he fights back and shows he still has the desire to win – as he demonstrated during the 2021 Supercross season.”
Roger De Coster – Director of Motorsports, North America: “Marvin will be back for another SX season and I think he wants to prove to us that he is like red wine and gets better with time. After serious knee surgery two years ago, Marvin worked hard to recover and he is back in top shape, so we feel that and after finishing strong this year in SX with a win and second in the last two races, he will be back capable to perform at a top level."

Very few top level racers get the luxury of being able to do SX only. I don't think this will be a pattern at all as long as all the top factory supported race teams require participation in both series.
Besides, it's not like he's taking someone's ride. He's still competitive.
It was probably SX only or Retirement so if anything you should be glad guys do deals like this, look how long it has extended Brayton's career.

I've got no problem with anyone racing the stuff they wanna race. Last time I checked, this is a sport...or a lifestyle...or something we do for fun. Right?
Malcolm doing what he wants to do and getting paid for it is fine with me. IF the sponsors are happy...& the team is happy? More power to them.
Besides all that, is Malcom SX only at Rockstar?
Pretty sure there were a couple vital insiders claiming him to Rockstar.
I am just glad he didn't call it a day and that we will see him next year. (and maybe next one depending on how he stays into it. The talent and work ethic are there, it just quite depends on how he feels)
At the end of the day, it's his choice and as long as he can live with the decisions he's made, that's all that matters.
