For immediate release

Royal Distributing Thor KTM on the podium in Walton!

CMRC MX Pro National: 9th round, Walton, ON, August 16th, 2009
Team Royal Distributing Thor KTM Canada ended the 2009 CMRC Nationals on a high note claiming 2nd overall
in the MX 2 series. After a long hard fought battle across the Country the team arrived in the beautifully prepped
Walton race facility ready to race. As the gate dropped on the first MX2 moto of the day all eyes were on Royal
Distributing Thor KTM rider Eric Nye. He still had a mathematical chance for the title and gave it everything he had
as the gate dropped. Nye rode his KTM 250 SX-F up front in both motos, but unfortunately luck wasn’t on his side
and on track incidents forced the California native to go down in both motos. Eric scored enough points to remain in
nd
2 overall and celebrated on the podium at the end of the day. After a heartbreaking injury last weekend, Grand
Prairie’s Kyle McGlynn was unable to compete this weekend and lost a few positions in the series, but managed to
retain a top 10 overall result making for a very successful season with the Royal Distributing Thor KTM Canada
squad. The MX 1 Class had a full gate of world class racers lined up to do battle. Team Royal Distributing Thor
KTM riders Jeff Northrop, Ryan Millar and Mason Phillips all had great starts on their KTM 450 SX-F’s. Northrop
th th
finished the day in 8 position, Phillips placed in 13 , and the #43 of Ryan Millar once again proved he has great
th
potential scoring another 10 place overall.

Team RTR Performance, Orange Motorsports Troy Lee Designs also had a fantastic day with MX2’s Kerim
nd th
Fitz-Gerald winning his 2 consecutive race, handing him 4 overall in the MX2 Series. His teammate Liam
O’Farrell overcame a mid pack start and powered his RTR Performance, Orange Motorsports tuned KTM 450 SX-F
to a 4th place finish which earned Liam and his sponsors an 8th place in the series. Another story of the day for KTM
in the MX1 class was special guest rider Kornel Nemeth. The Troy Lee Designs backed rider once again placed
nd
himself with the elite of Canadian motocross scoring a 2 in moto 2 in the MX1 class. Kornel proved to be just as
th nd
competitive on hard pack conditions as in the sand passing his way from 15 to 2 in the final moto of the day in
extremely hot and humid conditions. After competing in just 3 rounds this season the charismatic Hungarian earned
16th spot in the series.
