Two Belgians sign for the Silver Action KTM team
These are busy times for all GP teams. Now that the contracts have completely expired, a lot of news reports are being sent out into the world about closed deals for the new season. The Italian Silver Action KTM team has made some nice bargains here in Belgium.
The team will compete in the MX2 World Championship next year with Jens Getteman, who did well last season on the J-tech Honda. Unfortunately, Getteman had to miss a few races and the 20th place in the final standings did not reflect how good Jens felt on the MX2 bike. In Valkenswaard he achieved 9th place overall and in Mantova he even achieved 5th place in the second round.
The second Belgian to join the Silver Action KTM team is Cyril Genot. He switches from the EMX125 championship to the EMX250. A new engine, a new team and new opponents. Without a doubt, the 2016 season will be a learning year for the talented Belgian.
