1
The number of titles won by team manager Fabio Farioli. Before taking over from his father Arnaldo as team manager Farioli was a highly skilled racer. He won the 1993 600cc four-stroke world title… on a KTM of course.
175
The team will use approximately 175 Metzeler 6 Days Extreme tyres during competition in the seven-round EWC series. Each rider will use four tyres per event – two front and two rear – plus one set of tyres on the test track prior to the race. When you take into account the additional number of tyres used by the team during the ISDE, respective national championships, testing, etc, the team quickly gets through their allocation of 1000 tyres.

The KTM Enduro Factory Team will field five riders in the Enduro World Championship. Antoine Meo and Cristobal Guerrero will contest E1. Johnny Aubert and Ivan Cervantes will fly the flag for KTM in E2. Christophe Nambotin is the team’s sole representative in E3 – but he is the defending champion!
10,953
The distance in kilometres the team’s truck will travel from their headquarters in Bergamo, Italy to each of the five European rounds of the series, and back again. Add in the journeying of the team’s race support vehicle, plus the 23,880km return flight from South America and the total distance travelled in 2013 jumps up to 45786km.
2005
The year Johnny Aubert switched from motocross to enduro. Not really knowing what he was signing up for, he claimed his first EWC podium at the GP of Sweden in early 2006. Two races later Jonny was leading the E2 world championship. EWC title #1 came on October 12th, 2008.
11

Christophe Nambotin and Cristobal Guerrero own one title each, Johnny Aubert two, while Antoine Meo is a three-time champion. Ivan Cervantes boasts the most enduro world championship titles having won four.
