    KTM signs Roger DeCoster to manage its US factory team

    KTM, the market leader in offroad motorcycles has signed Roger DeCoster, one of the true icons of the sport of motocross to take over the management of the company's new factory team in the USA. Work now immediately begins to prepare the team for the 2011 racing season in all of the major US competitions.

    The signing of DeCoster represents a major step forward in vaulting the Austrian company into the global arena. KTM has already reached the top level of the sport in Europe and the World Championship GP series and will now also be a dominant force in US competition.
     
    KTM CEO Stefan Pierer said the signing represented a new and exciting era for the Austrian-based company: "The acquisition of Roger DeCoster to take over our factory team in the USA heralds a new era for KTM. We now enjoy a worldwide network and we are a real global player. Roger DeCoster is one of the great figures in the sport of motocross and we are delighted that he has agreed to manage our new team. KTM is now "Ready to Race" in the biggest and most competitive motocross competitions in the world."
     
    Pit Beirer, who heads KTM Offroad Sports Department, said the signing of such a personality as Roger DeCoster completes the circle whereby KTM has great riders, has been enjoying unprecedented success with its latest motorcycles and now has team leaders in place that will make it a dominant force on both sides of the Atlantic.
     
    Pit Beirer: "We are honored that we can welcome a man of Roger DeCoster's credentials and stature into the KTM family. With him as the head of our new KTM USA factory team we will be a major force in the USA and Europe and we want to attract the very best American riders into our team. Roger has had a superb racing career and a distinguished and successful career in team management."
     
    Roger DeCoster was born in Belgium and is a long time resident of the USA. Known simply as "The Man" when he was racing, DeCoster was one of the sport's most decorated riders. He was always admired for his smooth, controlled riding style and his late attacks on race leaders in a career where he won a record 36 500 cc GP victories. He was also a Gold Medalist in the 1964 International Six Day Trial, a four-time winner of the Trans-AMA series and won the 1964 Belgian Observed Trials National Championship. Since retiring from active racing, DeCoster has been a prominent managerial figure in the USA racing scene and has also managed Team USA at the Motocross of Nations.

    2010 XDL Finals In Indy The Best Ever!

    
    By Randy Grube
    
    
     Los Angeles, CA (August 2, 2010) - After five years of building up a series, the XDL Championship Series has established itself as a major form of motorcycle entertainment, and the XDL Finals put an exclamation mark on the season. The riders were in top form and delivered precision, aggression, speed, acrobatics and comedy. Yes, comedy. In five years there has never been a show this complete, well rounded and entertaining.
    
    The setting for the XDL Finals is the Indiana War Memorial, just a few blocks north of downtown Indy. XDL closes down North street between Meridian and Pennsylvania and uses the adjacent park as a venue. Now in its third year at this location, XDL has managed to perfect the layout, and for the second year in a row, Saturday night was a sell out. The competitions got under way with the K&N Circle Challenge, which saw Icon rider Ernie Vigil take the top spot for the first time in 2010. Unlike in other seasons, 2010 saw a different winner of the K&N Circle Challenge at each stop. A fact that goes to show how competitive this event has become. Winner Vigil noted that in future years riders will be able to lock in and spin so quickly they are liable to get thrown off their bikes. Sounds like the best is yet to come.
    
    Adding to the action packed Friday night program were the finals for the first-ever Sartso Women’s Cup. Originally intended as a trial program, the Sartso Women’s Cup saw such strong participation it was held at every stop on the schedule and even included in the X Games demo. The finals saw five women go head-to-head with Racing 905’s Dena Sodano crowned the 2010 champion. In the seven months since the season opener, the women have made such rapid progress and the riding has become so good, that they have established a firm foothold within XDL and with the fans.
    
    Comic relief came in the form of Team Road Hazard who took the win in the Team Battle. Chris McNeil, Dan Jackson, Bill Dixon and Brian Bubash combined for a 4-up “mandem” and executed stoppies, wheelies and circles before jumping on to their own bikes for a synchronized routine. Somewhere in there Chris McNeil managed to throw down a dance number worthy of an NFL end zone appearance.
    
    Capping off the night was Speed & Strength Sickest Trick. This competition is judged by other riders, so even though there was plenty of fire, acrobatics and mayhem, the top three runs were all very difficult technical maneuvers. Racing 905 rider Luke Emmons impressed the judges with a 50/50 stoppie to a 180 wall park for his first Speed & Strength Sickest Trick win of the season.
    
    Saturday offered up the Aprilia All Star Challenge and FMF Cup. Eric Pettit won his first-ever Aprilia All Star Challenge by consistently out-performing Dan Jackson and Bill Dixon all year. Initially known as the guy that could win only in the wet, Pettit proved that he could win consistently, in all conditions.
    
    The FMF Cup main event was possibly the most tense of the season. Riders were battling fatigue and dehydration with temperatures hovering around 95 degrees. Everyone, including the top guys was experiencing difficulties and in the third round it started to show as Shin Kinoshita, Bill Dixon and Chris McNeil all crashed. The podium ended up featuring familiar names and was almost a carbon copy of the LA round. Icon rider Nick Brocha took the win, which was all the more bittersweet since he lost the championship by a mere point. Brocha vowed to return even stronger, Dixon pledged to be the first three-peat champion and Emmons said he will do what it takes in the off-season to win the title in 2011. Sounds like we’ll be in for a thriller of a year.
    
    Next up is the launch of Inside XDL on VERSUS, where you can relive the entire 2010 season and get a peek at what goes on behind the scenes.

  • Description:
    Brea, Calif. – September 1, 2010 – The championship-winning
    Rockstar Makita Suzuki team and Roger DeCoster will be partingways after the close of the 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro  Motocross season. DeCoster has been Team Manager for Suzuki’s Supercross and Motocross efforts for 15 years, and together they have earned numerous titles and championships. DeCoster will continue to lead the team through the final two rounds of the Motocross series.
    
    
    The championship-winning Rockstar Makita Suzuki team led by
    Ryan Dungey earned the 2010 AMA/FIM Supercross title in May and wrapped up the 2010 Lucas Oil AMA Pro Motocross championship last weekend at Southwick, making him the most successful rookie in Supercross and Motocross history.
    
    
    For now, the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team plans to focus on finishing off the 2010 season strong and celebrate the incredible year it has been. For 2011, the Rockstar Makita Suzuki team looks forward to defending its championships with Ryan Dungey sporting the number one plate in both the Supercross and Motocross series. The team will begin the search for a new manager in preparation for the 2011 race season.
    
    
    American Suzuki Motor Corp., the Rockstar Makita Suzuki racing team, Rockstar Energy Drink, Makita Industrial Tools, Yoshimura R&D of America, and all the sponsors of the team wish Roger the best in his future endeavors, and thank him for the great years spent together at the races.
    
    
    “You can never replace an icon like Roger,” Yoshimura R&D of
    America Vice President Don Sakakura said. “However, with Suzuki and Yoshimura’s racing DNA still strong as ever, and with the core nucleus of the team staying the same, we are looking forward to defending 2010’s championships. Roger has made great contributions with Suzuki and certainly has the utmost respect, friendship, and our acknowledgement of a job well done. We wish him nothing but good luck in the future.”
