Tim Gajser

Gajser previously competed for the Gariboldi Honda motocross racing team managed by Giacomo Gariboldi.[2] In the 2015 FIM Motocross World Championship season, he won his first world championship in the MX2.[3] Gajser moved up to the MX1 class and won the 2016 MX1 Motocross World Championship.[4] Gajser now currently competes under Team HRC and won the 2019 and 2020 season with them.

Gajser was born in Ptuj, Slovenia, and is a native of Makole, a small settlement roughly 20 kilometers to the southwest.[5] His father Bogomir was also a motocross rider and introduced his son to the sport at a young age.[5][6] He remains his coach to this day.[5][6][7]

Gajser has one older brother Nejc, and two younger sisters Alja and Neja.[7] In 1995 his family went through a tragedy when his 3-year-old brother Žan was killed in a racing accident. During a race the young boy wandered on a track below one of the jumps and was hit in the temple by his father's motorcycle during landing and killed instantly.[6] Gajser rides with the number 243 in honor of his deceased brother, who was born on 24 March.[7]

Gasjer maintains a close friendship with MotoGP world champion Marc Marquez, having met the Spaniard through their mutual relationship with Honda Racing Corporation.[8] Despite having ridden motorcycles since he was three years old, Gasjer does not have a motorcycle license and has never ridden a motorcycle on public roads.[8]
