Knight
signs for Farioli KTM,
prepares for 2010 WEC E3
title assault
Former two-time World Enduro
Champion and double US GNCC title winner David Knight is pleased to announce
that he will race for the Farioli KTM team in ’10 in the World Enduro
Championship where he will compete on official KTM factory machinery in the
Enduro 3 class.
Returning to the World Enduro
Championship at the start of ’09 following two championship winning seasons in
the States Knight endured a largely frustrating year in ‘09, despite claiming
wins in both the WEC and US GNCC series. Now, with the support of the Farioli
KTM team, David will start ’10 focused on claiming a third Enduro 3 World
Championship.
Although not an official member of
the KTM Enduro Factory Team David will receive factory backing from the
Austrian company, ensuring that he has both the machinery and support needed to
claim World Championship success in ’10.
David Knight: ‘I’m extremely happy to
be riding for the Farioli KTM team next year. knowing I will receive full
factory KTM equipment, and be a part of what is a great team that I know well,
means I’m really looking forward to the start of the new season. With the
Farioli KTM team and support from my personal sponsors I know I can reestablish
myself at the top of the Enduro 3 World Championship. 2009 was a difficult year
for me but I learned a lot and I’m even more determined than ever to win more
WEC titles.
‘I’d like to take this opportunity
to thank everyone at Kawasaki that has supported me during the second half of
’09, especially everyone at the the Kawasaki Superbike Racing Team. Claiming
victory in the Enduro 2 class at the final round of the ’09 World Enduro
Championship for Kawasakai is something that I am extremely proud of. I’d like
to wish Kawasaki every success in 2010. During the coming weeks and months I’m
going to be training hard during the winter both in the UK and in the States. I
can’t wait for the start of the ’10 WEC series.”
