"Indeed, David KNIGHT will enter the Grand Prix Acerbis of Italy with a KTM 300cc 2 stroke and the Number 10. Knighter.net is back for one Grand Prix and no doubt he can target a win in Lumezzane! When we announced the news to Iván Cervantes #25 (Oficial), the Spanish told us: "It can be great for me in my mission to comeback closer on Matthew Phillips Off-Road Racing!" No doubt, the E3 class will be once again super exciting this weekend" quoted from the ABC WEC website. Seems El Torito Ivan is happy to have Knighter as an E3 spoiler to combat Matt Phillips strong run at the championship.
they said #10 like thats his special number, but his chosen number is 101 isnt it? Truth is Matt Phillips is on a tear and Ivan seemed happy to have big Dave as a spoiler to also work on Matt......but its racing, what if Dave comes in second behind Matt----Ivan 3rd, thats a real spoiler for Ivan. I guess the only spoiler is if Dave's times push Matt more into mistake territory?? Now I really dont know why Ivan is happy to have Knighter back after all that stat talk.
Knight has been racing his own Ktms for a few weeks now I don't think there will be any stopping young matt
Bad news is CH Racing Sherco teamster Matti Seistola, will not be riding his 300 2T in E3. He sustained a bad cheek and jaw injury in a practice session.
Knighter is a great rider, matty Philips and Johnny walker are the future at this stage, matty is such a smooth rider, ktm buy all the good riders.....eventually.
It's funny how Sherco wanted to do world enduro next year and parted with David and now David is racing world enduro again. I think its the best place for him due to his speed - vs. say Jarvis, Tandy, walker
Taddy is racing as well in Italy and doing very well so far Edit: Taddy came 4 th - Day 1 in E2 E3 - Phillips 1st , Cervantes 2nd , Knight 7th Phillips only guy to beat Taddy in special test 1 http://www.enduro-live.info/
that freakin Taddy.....amazed me again, I remember his ST times at an event from a few years back were money. Big Dave has been away from the action, those tables turn fast at the tip of the spear. Hats off to the new guard Matt Phillips (kind of big too right?), hes is game on full gassss.
Hi, I'm Matti (Seistola), I smashed (trampled/planted/broke etc) my face into the hard ground, I will see you all in France, Bye
He broke his foot - hit a peg or something http://www.mcnews.com.au/2014-world-enduro-gp-italy-matt-phillips-injured/ still should be ok to ride in 6 weeks Knight came second on Day 2 - hes still got it
That sucks for Phillips. I wish him a speedy recovery. Ya, I don't doubt the Knighter but I do tire of him blaming the bike whenever things don't go his way. He's certainly one of the greats in our sport.
Interesting that it looks like the local authorities, made teams run full size motorcycle registration number plates. Usually they run little postage stamp versions, under the taillight.
If Cervantes wins both days in France (2 times 20 points). Phillips must place no lower than 3rd on both days (2 times 15) to win the championship.
