Ryan Hughes to KTM

[Senior KX Rider]

from racerx

While spending Thanksgiving with Ryan Hughes and family, he got me up to date on his comeback plans. Ryno will ride the 125 Nationals for the Red Bull KTM team while working with the younger riders on the squad to help coach, train and test with them: South Africa's Grant Langston, Portugal's Joaquim Rodrigues, France's Steve Boniface, New Zealand's Ben Townley, and Americans Billy Laninovich and Joshua Woods. (See what I mean about the rest of the world wanting to come here?) Ryno will not ride the SX Series, and he will follow the 125 National circuit with his new motorhome wearing #105 after finding out from the AMA's Duke Finch that few numbers are left from 1 to 999.

I am happy to see tha Ryno is back. one of my favorite riders. I guess his concussion issues are resolved? KTM is really looking to be a major player, I wish them well. Did you see picture if Ryno's leg in TWMX? Man that guy must be tough as a $2.00 steak!

I always liked Ryan. He has heart. :thumb:

He should be called Rambo instead- "Trained to ignore pain". That leg was minor compared to his broken face a couple years ago at a SX race.

he has been testing for KTM for ages its seems, everytime i go riding these days, he is there putting in laps with the young lads they have. he kept up very well with the 450fs of dubach etc. at the glen helen thingmejig race

hopefully he will add some great racing in the 125s. I look foward to cheering him on this year.
