KTM CANADA WEEKLY RACE REPORT

For immediate release

Nye and KTM podiums in Riverglade!

CMRC MX Pro National: 7th round, Moncton, NB, August 2nd, 2009

Fresh off their double class wins in St-Thècle, QC, team Royal Distributing Thor KTM arrived in Moncton ready
to battle. Moncton is always one of the favorite events on the schedule and Riverglade '09 was no exception.
Huge enthusiastic crowds coupled with beautiful weather made for a great racing atmosphere. Getting a less than
stellar jump off the gate, MX2 Royal Distributing Thor were teammates Eric Nye and round 6 winner Kyle
McGlynn. Their KTM 250 SX-F’s pulled them around the rutted and rocky track and both riders charged hard
finishing 4th and 8th respectively. The second MX2 Moto saw Royal Distributing Thor KTM champion Eric Nye
grab the coveted Holeshot over the rest of the field. Kyle McGlynns #32 250 SX-F was a little way back but still in
the top 10. Nye lost a position in the ultra rough GP section off the track but battled back and regained the lead
st nd nd
half way through the moto crossing the finish line in 1 place. Eric nailed down 2 overall and still sits 2 in the
Championship points. McGlynn meanwhile; had taken a rock to the jaw and persevered through the pain to finish
6th giving him 7th overall on the day.

The Moncton fans love their racing and the MX1 riders truly put on a show for the crowd. Only a few riders were
putting together a section that had never been tried before. It was a huge uphill step up jump and Royal
Distributing's Jeff "Norcal" Northrop was one of them. The Royal Distributing Thor KTM rider was able to pull a
th
holeshot in moto 2 enabling his KTM 450 SX-F to race up front and finished 7 for the day on the strength of 13-6
th
motos. The #15 of Mason Phillips had a great ride in the first moto finishing 10 , but experienced technical
nd
issues the 2 moto and looks forward to regrouping for Sand Del Lee. Royal Distributing Thor KTM rider Ryan
Millar showed his skill and had a fantastic day. The rookie rider ran with the lead riders finishing in 8th place by
th
the checkered flag of moto 2. His 10 place overall gave Millar his second top ten of the year.
The next stop on the tour is in Richmond, Ontario at the Sand Del Lee motocross facility. Team Royal Distributing
Thor KTM will be there ready to podium and move up the championship point’s leader.

The #94 of Kate Mckerroll podiums in Riverglade. It was KTM dealer Parker Bros. Powersports rider
