BMW PULLING OUT ALL THE STOPS FOR DREAM TEAM

EXERPT FROM BMW MOTORRAD

There can’t be a much clearer statement that this: BMW Motorrad has recruited the some of the world’s enduro racing elite into its ranks: David Knight, Juha Salminen and Marko Tarkkala. This is something the World Enduro Championship hasn’t seen for a long time! The BMW Motorrad factory team for 2009 reads like a “Who’s Who” of the enduro world. This shows fairly clearly just how high the team has set its aspirations this time around: the aim is to be right up at the front. The decision as to who will enter which categories and competitions will be made at a later stage, but one thing is certain now: BMW Motorrad Motorsport will be entering the World Enduro Championship as well as the XCC in Europe. In addition there will be the real classics and some demanding extreme enduro races – perfect for Andreas Lettenbichler and Gerhard Forster. After all, the two of them already secured some surprise achievements in 2008. There are also plans to enter individual races of the US series GNCC.
