Welcome

KTM UK sign Hellewell and McFadden

Eager to build on the team’s success of the last 3 years, Team KTM UK
manager Richard Cole has put together yet another Championship
winning team for 2012. Alongside James Hellewell Richard has signed
the British Youth Open Champion, 15 year-old Frazer McFadden.
Shaun Sisterson, KTM UK MD, said of the new signing “We are
delighted to continue our partnership with Richard in his 4th year as
manager of the Official KTM UK Team. Part of our policy is to find new
British talent so we are very pleased to have Frazer join the team as junior
rider alongside James who will advance to the senior role in the team.
James has made fantastic progress in the last 3 years under Richard’s
mentoring and we look forward to seeing Frazer develop in the same
way”.

On his new team line up, Richard said “James and Frazer will provide a
formidable force on the British and European Quad Racing front. The
past three years have been fantastic for us, but as the official KTM
Factory Team we will not be resting on our laurels. In James and Frazer I
know we have riders that will give outstanding commitment, dedication
and professionalism both on and off the track, I see in Frazer the talent I
saw in James at the same age. Both riders have Championship honours
well within their capabilities”.

“I have no doubt that 2012 will be another successful year. With the
continued backing of KTM and all our valued sponsors we will once
again have a Championship winning combination”.
