The French rider will contest the full AMA Pro Motocross season starting Saturday, May 24, at Fox Raceway.
After being left without a ride in the MXGP paddock, Paturel traveled to the United States earlier this year in search of an opportunity. His efforts have paid off, as he’s secured a spot with the HEP Suzuki team for the entire outdoor championship.
Among Paturel’s most notable achievements in Europe are one Grand Prix win in MX2, three moto victories, and three podium finishes. In the MXGP class, despite battling injuries, he managed ten overall top-10 finishes.
