I can tell you that I had many more people mention Knight to me in connection with Sherco than all of the other riders combined. Americans don?t seem to pay much attention to WEC but they did pay attention to what Knight was doing on the Sherco. Maybe it was because of his GNCC titles here and the other appearances that he made here. I think that Sherco made a mistake by dropping David.
I hope DK finds a way to get the finance and keep riding at a high level - there's no doubting his determination.

On the corporate issue, I think there is something to be said for enduro as a whole finding it's own balance between the interests of the manufacturers selling bikes and everything else. Motorsports entirely dominated by corporate interests tend to become soulless and dull. Enduro's character is in it's 'homespun' nature with local club involvement even at the highest level and the low key, geographically dispersed nature of events. So maybe putting sporting ambitions ahead of career prospects is not an entirely bad thing.

This is bummer to hear. He seemed like a nice guy when Steve and I were in Vegas last November. He seemed to do very well when he was with KTM. I'm sure with name on them he sold quite a few bikes for them.

I always was curious when that tipping point came in a professionals career when you start out searching for sponsors and very thankful to have them. Then to the point of your are used to getting what you want from sponsors.

He's back and winning on a KTM a few days later, looks to be a self financed effort.

The GasGas is going to be on the small side for a tall chap like Knight i guess.

I would think the newer chassis would fit also.. I'm 5'6" and can't touch the ground at all on the 12/13 so it got bigger. but reality.. I did not even know Knighter was riding a sherco.. He did so well on KTM its what sticks in everybody's head..
