Cartoon: KTM withdraws another engine.
Having suddenly withdrawn their supply of MotoGP engines for Team Roberts halfway through the 2005 season, KTM went one step further at last weekend's Qatar Grand Prix - by withdrawing their 250cc engine from their own factory team!
"The decision not to race was taken by technical and managing director Harald Bartol on the grounds of safety, following an engine problem in (Friday's) final qualifying session," was the official explanation for Anthony West's race day absence.
