UK (11/5/2011) - Eager to build on the team’s success of the last 3 years, Team KTM UK manager Richard Cole has put together yet another Championship winning team for 2012. Alongside James Hellewell Richard has signed the British Youth Open Champion, 15 year-old Frazer McFadden.

Shaun Sisterson, KTM UK MD, said of the new signing “We are delighted to continue our partnership with Richard in his 4th year as manager of the Official KTM UK Team. Part of our policy is to find new British talent so we are very pleased to have Frazer join the team as junior rider alongside James who will advance to the senior role in the team. James has made fantastic progress in the last 3 years under Richard’s mentoring and we look forward to seeing Frazer develop in the same way”.

On his new team line up, Richard said “James and Frazer will provide a formidable force on the British and European Quad Racing front. The past three years have been fantastic for us, but as the official KTM Factory Team we will not be resting on our laurels. In James and Frazer I know we have riders that will give outstanding commitment, dedication and professionalism both on and off the track, I see in Frazer the talent I saw in James at the same age. Both riders have Championship honours well within their capabilities”.

“I have no doubt that 2012 will be another successful year. With the continued backing of KTM and all our valued sponsors we will once again have a Championship winning combination”.
