Ya think Kato wants to unseat the latest Baja Dynasty (JCR Honda) Look at the (un)official KTM Baja 1000 squad, have not heard an official press release yet. Caselli, Brown, Ramirez, Norman. It's another KTM corp/SP ego/marketing/competition trip to beat the Japanese at every level. I dont think he liked that Kant Take Mexico joking going on among the short memory Honda faithful (haha). Short memory (Honda Baja Fanatics) because Honda only started winning after the official Kaw team green 500s stopped racing and with no other "official" team to compete against. This Kato effort is the only other real official "factory" team to throw their hat in the ring for many years.
It woulds be so great if Husky/Husaberg/KTM (lets call it Husky) Put together a great western offroad team Using these guys to race the Nationals H&H endurocross and other offroad races stateside Under the Zip Ty Racing Tent 1 Kendal Norman 2 Taylor Roberts 3 Jake Alubright Those 3 guys would clean house Caselli will be doing a lot of Dakar type events so that opens the door for a new National H&H winner Norman has won it before and Allubright is in 2nd behind Caselli as a National winner.Robert is winning just about everything so those 3 would be a great team for Husky Lets hope for a new Husky offroad team
