KTM has signed Ryan Dungey to a two-year contract to race in the 2012-2013 AMA Supercross and Motocross seasons. The deal reunites Dungey with team manager and motocross icon Roger DeCoster.
Dungey and DeCoster share a connection that goes back to 2006 when the former world champion recruited Dungey for the Suzuki factory racing team. Under DeCoster’s tutelage, Dungey swept the 2009 AMA Supercross Lites West and 250cc Motocross championships. The following season, Dungey moved up to the 450cc class and again won both the Supercross and Motocross titles.
