Team and bikes will be presented on 19th - we'll see
So - it is public now. GasGas will run white-framed KTMs (called Husqvarnas) on this edition of Dakar. And...this is actually very good news. It shows that GasGas is actually very-very serious about future success and is willing to invest in running in their team before their own bike finally arrives - which is probably in year or two. I think GasGas will run KTM bike on rallies in 2018 and will introduce their own bike in 2019 alongside with a new 450 engine.
