His return is sure to send shockwaves through the paddock and excitement among fans of extreme off-road motorcycling alike.

When asked about Knight's decision to rejoin the sport, Team Manager Stefan Lenz commented: 'We're absolutely delighted that David has chosen KTM again for this new chapter in his career.
