    Heard this was posted on Dirt Bike .com

    Kendal Norman and Ryan Abbatoye will race a EFI KTM at this years Baja 500
    Sponsored by Red Bull and maybe some Factory KTM in there
    Factory KTM Curt Casselli and Ramariz will race a carb KTM bike
    That is very interesting Kendal is a ex Factory Honda/Johnny Cambell rider who has been out there on his own.Kendal did do Romanic this year on a KTM 300 2 stroke But raced a Honda 450 at round 1 and 2 of the Nationals where he won and is the only rider to beat the Factory KTM
    Team

    Kendal is one of the fastest off road racers out there with many Baja 500 and 1000 overalls
    Plus former AMA National Hare and Hound overall # 1 plate holder
    So lets go out there on a limb and hope with the KTM Husaberg deal we might just see Kendal on a Husky/husaberg next year. KTM already has one of the best off road teams So that leaves
    Husaberg/Husky with some openings Neck we might just see Gram Garvis on a Husky to
    Say what you want about KTM at least they like racing more then BMW ever did Lots of thing to
    look forward to with the new change

    Tinken Say what you want he has always gone out of his way to be nice to me and my sons over all the years we have been racing.i have done a few trail rides with him before the races and he is both fast and helpful in giving riding adviceHe is also the only person I know of who has beat Casselli so that is good for the sport Plus with a sponsor like Red Bull more
    exposure of off road racing might just help promote the sport

    Well finally some one is looking at this thread Over the last few years a lot of people said Husky needs to race Baja Husky belongs in Baja, winning Baja sells bike. Well Husky Fans the closes thing we now have to look forward to is a Blue and Yellow Husaberg with a Husky logo on it That will work for now So lets hope a KTM wins Baja because that
    is the closes thing to a Husky in Baja we have for now.
    My money is on Kendall, Casselli already is a KTM Factory rider so maybe there is a Blue and Yellow Husky team in the future

    Please Clarify ISDE Team Leader Kurt only hurt his wrist?, not broken?
    For me ISDE is paramount, hope Kurt is on the 100% AA game for Sardegna!!
