KTM, with its dynamic team of Cyril Despres, David Pearson, Quinn Cody and Shane Esposito and with the rich experience of team manager Chris Blais, have come away from their first ever entry in the legendary Baja 1000 with a third place podium.
The race, in its 40th year and considered to be one of the most challenging in the world of motor sport, took competitors through the Mexican Baja Peninsular in a true "survival of the fittest" dash to the finish.
The Baja 1000 in 2007 was a great race premier for KTM's 690 Baja machine. The 690 Baja first saw action earlier this year in the smaller version, the Baja 500, piloted by Chris Blais, Cyril Despres and David Pearson. David Pearson and Quinn Cody then rode the 690 Baja then in the Desert Classic Vegas to Reno, taking the bike through another vigorous test.
