Doh. Didn't check page 2.
That translation was the biggest pain in the ass to read though, that's for sure.
No-one at KTM wanted to confirm it last week, but the revelation camer with the light of dawn on Friday at Fermo as KTM rolled out a brace of SX125 TWO-STROKES for Kenny Roczen to race this weekend ! And MX1 world champion Toni Cairoli is due to race an SX250 !
Whilst checking his mails the 17 year old German took time out to answer a couple of questions. First "Why ?". The simple answer: "Because I wanted to !" Dad Heiko Klepka quickly added: "We already talked with KTM about racing the two-stroke before we signed the contract."
The last time the MX2 world champion raced a two-stroke was back in 2007 when he won the 85cc world junior title, and no stroker has finished in the top ten of an MX2 GP since 2006, so what sort of result does Ken expect ?
"The same as usual; the main reason a two-stroke didn't make a result is because the riders who have raced them were not fast enough."
And to complete what could be a truly sensational promotion drive for the strokers KTM have a brace of SX250 in the Sprinter for Toni Cairoli to race in the MX1 class !
I really hope Rozcen podiums this weekend!!! I can't wait to hear that 125 screaming.
