13 September 2007
KTM Enduro Factory Team member Juha Salminen is reported fit and ready to race in the final round of the E1 competition in France, where the results of Saturday's and Sunday's races will decide who takes all three world championship titles.

Not wanting to take any unnecessary risks, Salminen who still had a comfortable lead in the standings, decided to sit out the two races in Slovakia in favour of promoting the healing process. Now on Saturday and Sunday he will be back chasing as many of the 50 available points as he can and will be completely focussed on securing the title.

Salminen Misses E1 In Slovakia
04 September 2007
The penultimate round of the E1 Enduro World Championship was missing the dominant rider of the season, the KTM Enduro Factory Team's Juha Salminen. The absence of the injured Finn may have allowed someone else a place on to top podium but he still leads the points. Salminen has won every race this season up to this weekend's event in the Slovakian ski resort of Krompachy but he broke a collarbone competing in a race in Britain three weeks ago and decided to sit out this weekend to give his injury another two weeks to heal. He returns to the circuit for the last event in France, which will hopefully also wrap up the title in his favour.
