KTM has apparently listed some riders in next year’s Dakar race, despite previous reports that KTM had quit Dakar.
The decision has come after a re-scheduling of the 450cc limit.
The Dakar site reports:Further to the numerous discussions that have taken place with the different actors of the motorcycles’ competition… the goal of a maximum cubic capacity of 450 cc is maintained.
Nevertheless, so that the competitors can have more time, a new schedule has been set up.
For the Dakar 2010, the ASO Elite pilots must ride with a restrictor reducing the power of their bike, if its cubic capacity is over 450 cc.
Or they may use a bike of a cubic capacity under or equal to 450 cc.
The other pilots are free to choose their bike with no restriction.
