KTM Extends
Partnership with FRE Racing and Adds New Lead
Rider
Murrieta, CA – KTM Motorsports will extend
its relationship with Farr Racing Enterprises
(FRE) and its three-rider ATV GNCC Team for the
2010 season. The FRE/KTM ATV GNCC Team will
consist of defending XC2 champion Josh Kirkland,
defending Women’s Champion Angel Atwell and the
newest member signing on to compete in the XC1
class Bryan Cook.
The FRE/KTM Team will be led by multi-time
ATV champion Tim Farr. “Tim’s experience and
expertise racing ATVs led to the development of
the current KTM ATV and has helped KTM ATV Team
riders win many races, including two
championships last year,” remarked KTM Off-Road
Team Manager Antti Kallonen. “Needless to say,
we are very happy to extend our relationship
with such a well decorated and knowledgeable
team leader and look forward to a successful
year with Tim and his FRE/KTM team for 2010.”
While Josh Kirkland and Angel Atwell will
return to the team for their second year on the
orange brand, the biggest news comes with the
addition of former privateer rider, hailing from
North Carolina, Bryan Cook. The top privateer
award winner of 2009 joins the FRE/KTM Team to
compete in the highly competitive XC1 class. “I
am grateful for this opportunity and excited
that my racing has finally paid off and I will
have a great machine and team structure for the
2010 season,” stated Cook.
We have been looking at Bryan for quite some
time,” commented Farr. “He is a talented rider
that has placed consistently within the top
five. Since he has been on his own budget as a
privateer for some time, we know with the KTM
product and the support of a team behind him his
results will improve on the track. We expect to
see many podiums from Bryan this next season.”
