David is just supported by the UK importer, so no real pro-riding program. He said a few weeks ago that he wants to do some races but not all and in no way on a pro basis, he said just good fun and help the brand.

Lars is the best rider we have in Austria and noone tested more TPI prototypes than him. Working very long for KTM I think he expected to become a factory rider, but KTM didnt ask him. When he appeared with a carbed 300 at a few races in Austria we asked him why he does not ride a TPI. Lars said he doesnt have one and KTM does not give him one so he rides his private 300. At this time it was clear that there's something cooking.

GasGas offered him a better support than KTM, but he is still not a fulltime factory racer. However, on one of the first races he broke his thumb and still suffers from this injury.
At the Lagares he just had bad luck and jumped into a whoop bending the forks. Like Taddy Blazusiak he started from somewhere behind but didnt make it up to the front like Taddy in rage mode.

In this vid you see his crash at 5 mins 19 seconds
