| David Knight scores a 2-1 E3 victory in Slovakia |
| KTM-supported rider David Knight of Britain followed up his second place on Saturday in the E3 GP of Slovakia with a victorious first place on Sunday when KTM factory teammate Simone Albergoni joined him on the podium in third place. |

The two riders completed the set for KTM who won all three classes on Sunday and had all six riders on the podium. “It’s been a very strong weekend for us in Slovakia,” said KTM Enduro Factory Team boss Fabio Farioli. All our riders were on the podium on Sunday. We did have some luck, but that is part of the game. David (Knight) was very strong on Sunday, much better than he was on Saturday and although Simone Albergoni seemed to lack a little confidence this weekend, he was still third to complete the E3 podium today,” Farioli told KTM Racing News.
While David Knight conceded some points to his arch rival Christoph Nambotin on Saturday he had his revenge on Sunday, when Nambotin finished fourth to the British rider. David has six race wins, two second and two thirds to his credit and is 30 points ahead of the Frenchman in the standings.
Riders battled rain and muddy conditions for much of the two races and the 65 km laps that made up the race included a very long MX section with a lot of slippery grass.
