KTM Australia announces factory ATV racers for 2010 season
Chris Brenton to Race at the AMA ATV MX National at Pell City, Alabama

Australia (2/12/2010) - Following a successful debut to ATV racing in 2009 with Chris Brenton winning the National Title on board the KTM 450 SX quad, manufacturer commitment has stepped up with KTM Australia to see Ryan Lancaster join the team for 2010, alongside existing riders Chris Brenton, and Len Pipiciello.

The team will have a mixed racing calendar for the season, with Chris Brenton heading over to the USA to race eleven rounds of the Pro Amateur class on board the KTM 450 SX quad, while new comer Ryan Lancaster will also ride the KTM 450 SX quad, but focus on the Pro Class in Australia for the WA State Rounds, and the Tri State Series. Meanwhile, Len Pipiciello will continue on as technical adviser, and Vets Class racer riding the KTM 505 SX quad in selected East Coast events.

The one event on the Australian ATV racing calendar that will see the trio all compete together will be the National Titles at Southern Capes - Jindong near Busselton in October, where Brenton will return from the USA in hope of retaining his number one plate, and ranking in Australia.

Commenting on his ride in the USA, Chris Brenton from West Swan WA said, "I have to earn 150 points in the Amateur Class before I can qualify to ride the Pro Class in the USA, but even if I do achieve those points mid season, I will stay in the Amateur Class to prove myself, and gain as much experience as possible before stepping up to the Pro Class the following year.

"It's my long term goal to race professionally in the USA, so this is a great start in achieving that goal, but I still hope to return to race in Australia for the National Title each year, which is my commitment to KTM Australia for all the support they have given me, and continue to give me for ATV racing."

Chris Brenton will commence his first race on March 27 at Pell City in the USA.
