It took a little longer than expected, but Red Bull KTM‰Ûªs David Knight is finally on track in the Can-Am Grand National Cross Country Series. He scored a dominant win at round four of the tour, the Pirelli Big Buck GNCC in South Carolina, coming from a bad start to track down the leaders and take his first career GNCC win. He‰Ûªs the fourth winner in four rounds this season.
"I had to be patient with it, this is just completely different," said Knight, of the Isle of Mann, who struggled with a hand injury and then small bike problems through the first three rounds of the season. ‰ÛÏI‰Ûªve been riding enduros since 1998, and this is as different as motocross is from enduro. It does take your confidence down a bit as you wonder if you maybe have something wrong with you. But at the last race, I ran the pace, so I felt good about it. You have people beating you down, and it‰Ûªs good to find out it‰Ûªs not true. Hopefully this will be the first of many.‰Û
