Privateer or Pirateer?

If you chose to look past the biggest names, past the full factory awnings and brightly coloured brands that dominate in MXGP, you will find a select and dedicated group of teams that take the fight to the top 10 week in week out on smaller budgets and with streamlined operations. Three years ago those ranks were swelled by the arrival of a man and his team from Lancashire, making the step up from national racing to Grand Prix. Since then Steve Turner Racing KTM has evolved into one of the strongest privateer teams in the form of Wilvo Forkrent KTM. Despite a tough and injury hit year in 2014 the team is already raring to go for next season and with a rider who is shooting for the top 5 in Jake Nicholls and a proven winner in new recruit Steven Frossard they are ready to steal more than just a few points from the big hitters.
