The 29-year-old Frenchman already has an incredible list of achievements that includes 12 Grand Prix wins. Paulin is easily one of the most famed riders on the gate. It’s pretty amazing to see it from where I was to where I’m at right now.
At one point I almost thought about stopping my career because I was just over it. “I’ve dealt with a lot of injuries and suffering, both physically and mentally. “The last few years have been really tough for me,” declared Tonus.

After taking a heart-wrenching full year off, the talented Swiss rider reasserted himself in the 2019 FIM MXGP World Championship with a startling six podium finishes to finish fifth overall. In 2018 Tonus injured both shoulders in two different off-season incidents, and was forced to undergo a double shoulder reconstruction which side-lined him for the entire 2018 MXGP season. He lined up with the number ‘4’ stuck firmly to his YZ450F and managed to make his first podium appearance in the premier class at round five, which he followed up with his maiden Qualifying Heat win in Russia, and an exhilarating GP race win in front of his home crowd in Switzerland. After a couple of years racing in the USA, Tonus returned to Europe and ‘home’ to the Yamaha family in 2017, where he was the cat among the pigeons in the 2017 FIM MXGP World Championship. Tonus’ return to racing has been impressive.
