Enduro21: Josep, at last you’re back in the EnduroGP World Championship… In a scaled-down version of the official KTM factory squad which used to be such a dominant sight in the GP paddocks, KT has announced Garcia will return and race basically out the back of a KTM Sprinter van with an easy-up.Įnduro21 checks in with fired-up Garcia facing a return to the tests and timecards of traditional enduros.
