Red Bull KTM sent us a press release today regarding their 2009 off-road teams. Big news involves the official announcement of their GNCC team. Here's a snip from the release.
The Grand National Cross-Country (GNCC) Series will continue to support New York’s Nathan Kanney and will add the 2008 ISDE Team Captain Kurt Caselli. Both riders will compete in the XC-1 class. Kanney who finished on the podium twice so far in the current GNCC Series has steadily improved throughout the season and will be a challenger for the championship in 2009.
