IDM racing: KTM starting to make waves




Well, starting to make waves isn't exactly appropriate as the Austrian manufacturer KTM and it's RC8 superbike have podium finishes already this season. However, for the Assen race, there were 5 RC8s on the playing field and three finished in the top 10! That's impressive for a company that most folks here in the U.S. still don't realize make road-bikes. Now that I think about it, most folks never even heard of KTM here, so... SURPRISE! You can read more about the Assen race on KTM's site.

1. Joerg Teuchert, Germany, Yamaha, 248
2. Stefan Nebel, Germandy, KTM 175
