KTM Orange Brigade Returns K TM announced the return of its KTM Orange Brigade Dealer Support program for the 2026 race season, "connecting riders of all ages and experience with their local authorized KTM dealer for exclusive team benefits and support." And it's not just for KTM riders. Husqvar - na and GasGas riders will receive the same level of sup- port and connection with the return of Team Husqvarna and GasGas Mob Dealer Support programs. The revamped KTM Orange Brigade program now encompasses all levels of racing, from the top-tiered factory racing efforts to amateur racing's Elite, Select and Dealer Supported riders. The program is designed to sup - port and foster talent across all levels, from aspiring young riders to seasoned profes - sionals. "Ready To Race Re- wards will be a driving force in generating exposure locally, uti- lizing the KTM Cash contingency platform to accelerate forward together," says KTM. "KTM Orange Brigade Dealer Support riders will have the opportunity to be featured on social media through both the Orange Brigade and KTM USA accounts as part of widespread marketing initiatives. "Additional benefits include motorcycle and PG&A discounts for riders, in addition to a custom KTM Or - ange Brigade team hat and sticker kit, as well as up to $500 in Ready to Race Rewards applied to each rider's KTM Cash Contingency account ($500 big bike or $250 for minibikes). An exclusive KTM Orange Brigade team graphics kit is also available for purchase through ap- proved KTM-licensed graphics companies." Racers and parents interested in receiving support should contact their local KTM dealer for more informa - tion on how to be a part of the Orange Brigade.

Russell Robbed: "I Am Super Distraught" F ormer GNCC Champion Kailub Russell reported on November 6 that his garage/ shop in North Carolina was broken into overnight and that 17 motorcycles were stolen, including his current AmPro Yamaha race bikes and many of his championship- winning KTMs. "I am super distraught," he said on social media. "All my bikes, they are gone. We were here asleep, my bedroom is like 75 feet away, I don't know how I didn't hear them. Every one of my championship bikes...they're just gone. I am so at a loss of words. We're all safe, but all of my bikes are just gone. "Some of these bikes will probably show up; if you guys come across any brand-new factory KTMs, reach out, let me know. I'm going to need some help." Multi-time GNCC Champion Kailub Russell's shop in North Carolina was burglarized, resulting in the theft of 17 motorcycles, including his current AmPro Yamaha race bikes and previous KTM championship-winning bikes.
