2010 KTM Off-Road Racing Team Announced

A new UK Enduro race support service named KTM Off-Road Racing has been created by Julian Stevens who has supported many KTM Factory riders for several years in the BEC and International events, helping KTM win quite a few National and International Enduro championships along the way. Known as KORR and supported by KTM UK and several leading company's this new team will give direct technical and race support to current BEC E1 Champion Daryl Bolter (Premier Bikes), Welsh Champion Greg Evans (Wayne Mounter Motorcycles) and young expert rider James Giddings (Premier Bikes) and these pilots will be focusing on the BEC and the new ACU British Enduro Sprint Championship for 2010.

Also assisted by KTM UK in 2010 will be Paul Bolton (Eurotek), Euan McConnell (Triple-D Motosport) and Edward Jones (ET James). Also a certain Mr Knight (Farioli KTM) will again be the rider everyone wants to beat at major UK events riding a KTM 530 EXC-R. With the ever growing amount of quality off-road events in the UK its important that KTM is represented by the best riders to compete in all types of event from Enduro to Extreme and cross-country racing.

KTM will be fielding riders in every class of the BEC in '10 and hope to claim a clean sweep of the Enduro 1, Enduro 2 and Enduro 3 classes. Also the new British Enduro Sprint Championship series with full ACU accreditation and a British Title on offer is of major importance to the KTM Off-Road
Racing team. This new concept of Enduro racing has been proven already, to provide hugely exciting action for competitors and spectators alike. In the pioneering Elite Sprint event run from Mid-Wales in August of this year, KTM racers Daryl Bolter and Greg Evans dominated the days action and will
return next year to defend their reputation with the whole KORR team.

More about the team, its sponsors and who will ride each class will be released in the new year in conjunction with a new and exciting website about KTM OFF-ROAD RACING.

JULIAN STEVENS, “I am really excited about next season, KTM UK has generously invested more into UK enduro racing for 2010, and with help from other sponsors it means that I can provide even better bikes and support for our riders, we have an improved program for training and testing, and we
are confident that our riders will be even more competitive in the new year”.
