Three-time World Enduro Champion David Knight will not be riding for the K.T.M. factory team next season.
He is working with sponsors to put his own team together, possibly with bikes supplied by Honda Europe.
Knighter says he would love to support a junior rider in 2013 but that will depend on the budget he has available.
He plans to compete in the World Championship, the Indoor World Cup and the X Games.
David Knight says he's more comfortable looking after his own affairs:-
David Knight makes his comeback from injury at this weekend's final round of the British Enduro Championship at Eelmoor near Aldershot where he hopes to seal his 10th title.
