News from Germany...
The RedBull KTM 125GP rider from Switzerland is training on the flat track to further develop his riding skills!
Since the '80s the question was raised why more and more road race champi-ons were coming from America? The answer was found on the dirt tracks! From a young age American riders were developing their riding and drifting skills on the slippery flat tracks! To name a few, Nicky Hayden, Colin Edwards, Kenny Roberts Jr & Sr, Wayne Rainey, Kevin Schwantz, Eddy Lawson, Bubba Shobert, and many more have emerged from flat track racing! Even current motoGP champion Casey Stoner was racing flat track in Australia!
Now with flat track growing steadily in Europe, ambitious road racers are tak-ing up the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of their heroes and practice on the European dirt tracks!
The list of current European road racers that practice flat track is growing fast and already includes Neil Hodgson (former World Superbike champion), Steve Plater (world Endurance, TT, British superbike), John McGuinness (TT winner), Guy Martin (TT and British Superbike) and now Randy Krummenacher (125 GP).
