Title: Decoster headed to KTM
Post by: Mike Burgess on September 02, 2010, 11:02:14 AM
Listened to DMXS last night as i was called and told to listen up that HUGE news would be coming down the pike. Didn't have a clue that Roger Decoster would announce not only that he was leaving Suzuki(which i was already informed of) but he was also headed to KTM to run the MX/SX program for the next 3 years for sure but it's possible that it would be a 5 year deal.KTM now will win National Championships in the preimer class of the MX/SX series.

Doesn't matter if you like MX/SX or not, This is the most exciting news that's come down the pike in years for KTM folks.

Now if he can bring Ryan Dungey with him, good-to-go!

[/quotRyan's under contract with Suzuki until Sept. 2011. Decoster made it very clear that when Dungey's time is done with Suzuki or if his contract may be for sale he will be in contact with Dungey. And Ryan knows all too well that if not for Roger taking a huge gamble on him he may very well not be where he is today and Ryan has already made the comment..."I can't wait to join up with Roger once again"

It is a done deal!  Roger has signed with KTM.
