Troy Lee Designs/Red Bull/KTM’s Nelson Starts Off New Season in Championship Hunt

Nelson’s teammate Oldenburg started the night coming through the pack in his heat race, displaying strong speed that he transferred to the Main Event. While he didn’t get the start he was looking for, he came from outside the top 10 to finish with a solid ninth-place result for the night.“I’m so happy to be back with such a great group of people [on the TLD team],” said Oldenburg. “I was looking for a little better night, but getting out of the first round healthy is always a good goal to have, so I’m excited to line up next weekend in San Diego.”

The team will head roughly 90 minutes south of Angel Stadium next weekend as the series makes its first of two stops at Petco Park in downtown San Diego.The riders were sporting the SE LE Team Orange and Navy Racewear, along with the SE Team Helmet.

“READY TO RACE” for KTM, these three words are far more than a simple slogan. They stand for the entire company philosophy of developing vehicles that can without any modifications comprehensively assert themselves in any race. Direct from the dealer onto the track and into the battle for victory. Designers, engineers and riders are bound by a clear common denominator: an unconditional passion for motorcycles. The whole KTM family is a living example of this worldwide. Countless offroad World and European championship titles plus brilliant victories in the world’s toughest races (International Six Days Enduro, Dakar Rally, Erzbergrodeo, and many more) all speak for themselves. And KTM Supermotos, Naked Bikes, Superbikes and the X-Bow all demonstrate what an “orange” lead means on asphalt.
