Marvin Musqin starts at the Belgian GP as KTM Factory Rider!

After intensive discussions between KTM Racing, the French NGS-Honda
Team and Honda Europe a sensible solution has been found concerning the
transfer of the MX professional has been found. An settlement has been
reached whereby Marvin Musquin and KTM settle outstanding costs
involved in the negotiations plus a minor fee for the transfer.

 
The mutual agreement between all parties has opened up the
possibility for KTM to sign with the 19-year old French racer with the
goal of working together in the Motocross World Championship until the
end of the 2011 season.

 
A part of the agreement reached between KTM Racing, NGS Honda
and Honda Europe has been published in the following statement issued
by KTM:

 
KTM Racing: „It was KTM's initiative to present two KTM motorcycles in the name of Marvin Musquin at the preliminary technical tests for the Swedish Grand Prix
on 4 and 5 July 2009 which made it impossible for Mr. Marvin Musquin to
register motorcycles of any other brand. KTM apologizes and would like
to retract the unfounded statements made by Mr. Pit Beirer at the press conference held by him on 4 July 2009 at the Swedish Grand Prix".
