MIKA KALLIO ANXIOUS TO RIDE THE NEW KTM
16 February 2006 - KTM-Sportmotorcycles AG

Mika Kallio escaped from the intense cold weather of his homeland to take a short family break in Spain ahead of his trip to Estoril,

Kallio will take part in his first test of 2006, part of a jam-packed KTM team.

Last week the Finn attended the Helsinki Motorcycle Show. Chosen as 2005´s best Finnish motorist (ahead of such figures as Formula 1´s Kimi Raikonnen), Kallio was one of the stars of the show at the Austrian factory´s stand.

Kallio spoke with the national press and described his enormous desire to start testing. “I´m really up for taking to the track in Portugal, where we will be alongside KTM´s 125cc and 250cc teams. I can´t wait to start work on the 2006 bike, with its new chassis and new suspension” declared 2005´s 125cc World Championship runner-up.
