Nambotin

[tnttimber]

I hate ktm more than anyone and I love my gasser but I can't help but notice that Nambotin is killing it in wec this year on a KTM!!!!

He is a rider with a level of talent which take him to the podium every time regardless of what brand bike he rides =|

I agree that he has huge talent but I don't remember him getting those kind of results on the gasser. Cervantes is looking a lot better since getting away from the 2 stroke also.

It is noteworthy that both gents improved after getting off the GG 2T bikes, but I think it is coincidence.

I read an article in a European magazine last year where they interviewed David Knight. He said he liked riding the KTM300 2-stroke better and felt he was at a disadvantage to Nambotin with his Gasgas 2-stoke, but, KTM wanted him on the 505 thumper.

In Europe, it seems the factories are king and the riders are expendible.

In the Erzberg, KTM won't let any non-KTM bike win that event that is in their backyard. I have heard they place assistance for KTM riders in the difficult sections.

European racing is such a different animal than here in the states. But, those Euro's kick butt off-road! (Juha in GNCC!)

Meo too - he sucked on a Husky ... oh wait, he was a multi-time champ. Nevermind ...

Cervantes is making full use of the Yama-Gasser 450's juice ... EWC is a completely different game than what we play.
