Title: Mountain Biker VS. Dirt Biker
Post by: opfermanmotors on February 14, 2011, 07:36:26 PM: David Knight vs Gee Atherton , downhill bike vs enduro moto (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqBy1R7IMGE#ws)

Guess he should have been riding a 2 stroke! Must suck to be beaten by a mountain bike.

Its also Gee's home course in which he holds the fastest time on. If Knighter was on a smaller bike I bet the times would have been closer.

In the video it is plain to see that DK is fighting the weight of that 4T lump coming into every corner.Why he didn't ride a 250XC is beyond me. :-X

Post by: EJ on February 15, 2011, 06:02:09 PM: I think it's because Knight is contracted to ride the 450/530 4strokes.
Would have been better if KTM got Taddy Blazusiak to do it with his 250 ...or 300 maybe.

Post by: Bioflex on March 24, 2011, 05:41:15 AM: That was ridiculously close and really shows how good David Knight is.

On a track way to tight for a large dirt bike, one he had likely never ridden before (and at least the mountain biker knew a hell of a lot better) he got within 2% of Atherton's time (291 seconds compared with 296 seconds).

Seriously impressive from Knight, he doesn't need a two stroke, he just needs one more chance to run the track again.
