Vali and YT have known each other for a long time. In 2013, he had signed his first contract with YT at just 13 years old, and over the next six years he collected two Junior World Championship titles and an overall World Cup victory aboard YT TUES. He was unstoppable and will now join teammates Oisin O'Callaghan and Sian A'hern - YT MOB look truly dangerous for the '24 season.
It's great to be back with family. I feel at home and I can see how excited YT is to push the racing team. The next two years are going to be amazing. It was definitely easy to get used to the Tues: it's the bike I started racing seriously and created some great memories with as a junior. I'm happy to tackle something new. I could have stayed in my comfort zone and continued doing what I was doing, but I think I was a perfect age to try something new and take the next step – Vali Hell
Cyclist reunions are rare. They don't often return to a brand, which makes this homecoming even more special. It means a lot to both of us. I'm excited to continue the story we've already created together. Welcome home, Vali! – Markus Flossmann, founder and CVO of YT Industries
