Cairoli MXoN 2013Belgium with KTM’s Ken de Dycker won the 2013 Motocross of Nations in a typical last lap thriller that decided their win in front of USA with Ryan Dungey (both on the KTM 450 SX-F) in second place and Italy in third. KTM factory riders all answered the challenge of this important nations competition in a result that went down to the wire.


KTM's Tony Cairoli (Team Italy) and Ken Roczen (Team Germany) were the stand out riders in their respective MX1 and MX2 classes. Cairoli secured victory in both of his races with his usual tactical precision on the KTM 350 SX-F. Roczen, who rode with the additional pressure of being in the title-holding team finished with 2-1 onboard his KTM 250 SX-F and took an amazing victory after a cliff-hanger race two where he was challenged right to the flag by American Eli Tomac.

Tony Cairoli paid tribute to his team and said it had been just an amazing weekend. “It was our goal to finish on the podium but there are so many good teams. My dream was to finish on the podium and this is the first time in the eight years I have been riding for Italy that we made it. It was like a victory for us. My own goal was to win both my races and the MX1 class and I managed that.”

Red Bull Sea To Sky
Red Bull KTM factory rider Jonny Walker of the UK celebrated a great three-day weekend at Kemer, Turkey to be the outright winner of the Red Bull Sea to Sky Hard Enduro. Jonny Walker had victories in all three separate events – the Beach Race, Forest Race and the very tough Mountain Race where he beat rival Graham Jarvis and Alfredo Gomez into the minor places.

Speaking after the race, Julian Stevens, Walker’s manager  and minder of his KTM 300 EXC reported: “Jonny rode a fault free ride but he bent his rear disc before Check Point 1 and had rear brake problems the entire race. He managed to hold a three-minute lead for most of the race and then just tried to keep safe distance from Graham (Jarvis). He made a few mistakes towards the end and Graham got closer and it was a very close finish.Walker:In the end both Graham and I were so desperate to win we both made a lot of mistakes. It was a very close finish.”Jonny Walker
