KTMCANADA WEEKLY RACE REPORT
For immediate release
Royal Distributing Thor Dragon Fuels KTM Canada 2nd Overall MX 1 Championship!!!
CMRC Canadian Motocross Nationals, Round 9 – Walton, ON, August 15th, 2010
Royal Distributing Thor Dragon Fuels KTM Canada’s MX 1 ace Kornel Nemeth rode smart and did exactly what
he had to do to maintain his ranking in the MX 1 CMRC Series as round 9 was held at the famous Walton MX
racetrack in Walton, Ontario. The Hungarian KTM Canada rider got on the podium with a 2nd place in moto 2 and rode
from a mid pack start up to 4th position in the last moto of the season on his Factory prepped KTM 450 SX-F. He
snagged the 3rd place overall for the day and was awarded his highly coveted #2 championship trophy during the final
presentations of the season in front of a huge motocross crowd. Royal Distributing Thor Dragon Fuels KTM
Canada’s Nemeth really came on strong towards the 2nd half of the season and proved he was a championship
contender not missing the podium in every round starting in Morden.
Kornel qualified in 4th position one place back of special guest rider Michael Willard on the 350 SX-F who reeled off a
3rd quickest lap time in MX 1 qualifying. Determined to maintain his 2nd place in the series Nemeth was feeling a bit of
pressure as he lined up for moto 1. As the gate dropped the Dunlop backed #32 did not let off until he rounded the
first turn in 4th place. Making sure he didn’t waste anytime Royal Distributing Thor Dragon Fuels KTM Canada’s
Nemeth made the pass into 3rd. By mid moto Kornel had placed himself behind the leader and kept his KTM 450 SX-F
on 2 wheels finishing in 2nd place. Starting a little further back in moto 2 Royal Distributing Thor Dragon Fuels
KTM’s #32 was forced to pick up his speed a little and make key passes all the way to the checkered flag.
KTM PRESS
After the race Royal Distributing Thor Dragon Fuels KTM Canada’s Kornel Nemeth made a heart felt podium
speech and thanked all his personal and team sponsors as well as the team members and staff who all worked
together and supported him throughout the 2010 season. Royal Distributing Thor Dragon Fuels KTM Canada’s
Kyle McGlynn who had missed a good portion of the season with a shoulder injury got the nod from team manager
Andy White to jump into the MX1 Class on a 350 SX-F. Although it was a brand new bike to Kyle he rode hard and
looked great on the new machine. A couple of on track tip over’s cost Kyle some overall positions but he consistently
and deliberately moved forward through two long motos and was able to finish in 15th overall.
Despite strong starts Royal Distributing Thor Dragon Fuels KTM Canada’s Ryan Millar wasn’t able to translate
them into great finishes, but the young rider maintained a good enough pace to finish in 18th for the day. Millar’s starts
and opening lap speed proves he has the skill to run up front and just needs to build on that momentum to maintain
his position throughout the motos.
Despite missing the last 6 motos of the season due to a broken wrist Royal Distributing Thor Dragon Fuels KTM
Canada’s Eric Nye still landed in 8th Overall in the MX2 Series. Nye’s early departure from the series was a
disappointment for him and his fans as well as to the team; however, he is healing quickly and will no doubt be ready
to ride soon again. Walton was a 3 moto finale for the ladies. Royal Distributing Thor Dragon Fuels KTM Canada’s
Kate McKerroll raced right down to the wire for the 2nd Overall plate! Kate rode great and the whole team is very
proud of her accomplishment!
A very special thanks to all of the Royal Distributing Thor Dragon Fuels KTM team sponsors. Without their support
we wouldn't be able to go racing.

new 2011 National number.
