Texter-Bauman, KTM Part Ways
T
he Red Bull Factory KTM
Team and flat track racer
Shayna Texter-Bauman have
parted ways, with KTM issuing a
release thanking her for her ser-
vice. Texter-Bauman joined the
team in 2019.
"Riding for the Red Bull KTM
Factory Racing team was a dream
opportunity," Texter-Bauman
said. "I will never forget the first
day I hopped on the factory KTM
450 SX-F Factory Edition and
the excitement I felt from Chris
[Fillmore], Roger [DeCoster] and
Ian [Harrison]. It makes me proud
to have delivered the first of many
wins for the Red Bull KTM flat
track program. Thank you to the
entire team and supporters for be-
lieving in me! A special thank you
to my mechanic Justin for all of his
hard work in making sure my bikes
looked unreal every time I rode.
I'm looking forward to seeing my
friends from KTM at the races next
season and wish them continued
success."
Texter-Bauman still holds on as
the winningest AFT Singles rider
in series history with 19 total main
event wins, scoring five of those
wins aboard the KTM 450 SX-F
Factory Edition. In addition, Shayna
also amassed 10 podium finishes in
her three-year tenure with the team.
"KTM made the commitment to
enter American Flat Track racing
in 2019 and Shayna put her trust
into us," Fillmore said, "work-
ing alongside our crew to build
a new team and program from
the ground up. We're grateful to
have worked alongside her over
the last three seasons, watching
her grow and succeed in the AFT
Singles class. We wish her the
best in future endeavors."
