KTM MX Riders Buckle Down For Second Half of Season
30 June 2007
KTM Red Bull's MX 1 contender Italian David Philippaerts goes to the Glimminge Mototstadion in Uddevalla Sweden with the sweet smell of victory from last year still in his nostrils. Philippaerts achieved his podium in MX 1 and has now moved up to MX1 but has been gaining in strength as the season progresses. David has been consistently in the top five finishers and this augers well for the second half of the season. Winning his maiden MX1 Grand Prix has also been a confidence booster for the Italian. Presently lying third in the championship standings, David now has to make as many points as possible to close the gap on second placed Steve Ramon. New Zealander Joshua Coppins seems to have a stranglehold on the lead as riders go into the second half of the season.
