MXGP top ten rider Shaun Simpson will race for the Red Bull KTM factory team at the Unadilla round of the AMA Nationals in two weeks time, and will receive factory support in the 2016 MXGP championship. The Scotsman who won a GP at Lierop in the past and is very consistent in the last 10 years of GP racing will enjoy the experience as he returns to the team he rode for at the start of his career.

Comments KTM Sports Director Pit Beirer: “It’s great that he goes there and he is a great rider. We are pleased that we can support him and the aim is to support good material with him next year in the world championship. He’ll get the best engine that we have and what he plays all done from his own structure is very clever. We know from past experience that the transition to a factory team was hard for him. He needed a special atmosphere, to perform at his best, without the pressure of a factory team . However, you need a good engine and mechanic . We will increase the support from the factory next year and that is why we also help him with the race in Unadilla.”
