Kuchl/Vienna – 2024 was painful for Matthias Walkner and, especially at the beginning, was characterized by unbearable pain. Things have been looking up significantly for the Salzburger, who had an accident during motorcycle training on December 5, 2023, for two months now. However, it will still take a long time to heal his left leg, which was badly damaged by a complex comminuted ankle fracture and other injuries. At the same time, he is already thinking about motorsport plans again and dreams of returning to the Dakar Rally.
