0.000 HBDRed Bull KTM throw in a wild card
 Red Bull KTM have announced that FMF KTM Factory Racings champion rider Kailub Russell is to join the Red Bull KTM factory motocross team as a fill in rider for the last three rounds of the 2018 Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship. This is not a small move as Russell is a five time GNCC National Enduro Champion and he will compete aboard the KTM 450 SX-F FACTORY EDITION in the premier class. He will join the action at Undilla on the 11th of August and will race through till the season finale at the Ironman National on the 25th.  If anyone is not familiar with the name Kailub Russell then let me fill you in, he currently leads the GNCC XC1 Open Pro Championship by a comfortable fifty four points and will still continue to compete for his sixth consecutive title later this year when the series resumes. Yes you heard it right, SIXTH CONSECUTIVE! Wow!  He has been put through his paces at the Bakers Factory with the other Husky/ KTM athletes and with the break in his schedule he jumped at the chance to try his hand at some MX action in the Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship with full Red Bull KTM Factory support. He will enjoy the company of Jade Dungey as his mechanic also which shows the support he is getting from the team and i can't wait to see him in action :)  # Kailub Russell ****Factory Red Bull KTM** > "I'm really excited to have an opportunity to ride under Roger De Coster’s team. It's been a goal of mine to compete in AMA Pro Motocross for a long time and I hope I can put in some solid performances!"  # Roger DeCoster **Factory Red Bull KTM Team Manager** > "As a multi-time offroad champion, I have a lot of respect for Kailub and his racing accomplishments. It’s been his dream to race a professional motocross event and it just so happens that we have an extra race bike prepared so it makes sense to take advantage of his open schedule and see what he can do at the last three rounds."  # Antti Kallonen **FMF KTM Factory Racing Team Manager** > "Our expectation for Kailub is just to have fun, qualify for the motos and gain experience. Obviously, the main focus is going after his sixth GNCC National Championship but we’re excited for him to have the opportunity to do something that he’s been wanting to do for many years."  # Aldon Baker **Factory Red Bull KTM Trainer** > "Kailub is a very talented athlete and his skills on the motorcycle are very diverse. He’s been putting in a lot of work with the guys at here at the Baker’s Factory and obviously showing great speed and fitness so we’re looking forward to seeing him out there for the last three rounds." Before i sign off, how about a GoPro from the Bakers Factory to see how he is getting on? Yes? haha I thought you would want to see, check it out :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x0sA7-CfpGA ---------------------------------- # Please vote for the Factory Steemit witness To vote for me just click the image below, with your support we can get the word of steemit out there at the races!
