Pro Andrew (Shorty) Short Is Going To KTM

James · Oct 7, 2010

Looks like Shorty will be joining Mike Alessi, Ken Roczen, and Marvin Musquin on the 2011 KTM team. If I understand it right Andrew & Mike will race 450's while Ken & Marvin do the 250 class in 2011 Supercross. However are doing east or west lites?

Sounds like Alessi was not riding SX only outdoors.

You're right, I do remember hearing that and I guess it did say it in the article.

We'll see if KTM ruins his career like everybody else. I've never seen anyone switch to KTM and continue to ride well.

Yeah with Roger at the helm it should be better.

I'll believe it when my sh!t turns purple and smells like rainbow sorbet. lol Roger can't change the fact that the bikes aren't as good as the big 4 bikes are.

That’s the cool thing about KTM, they have two great bikes to choose from. I haven’t ridden either one but from me looking at the situation from the outside, I think the 350 will be really good for supercross.

Wow, that's a little surprising. :thinking:
