Cole is finalising the rider line-up and is planning to make an announcement at the Quad Zone at the International Motorcycle Show which starts at the NEC next week.
It was a difficult decision for me to break with Yamaha after so long. Yamaha has been really good to me over the years and it's been a fantastic and successful journey. But the time has come to change and KTM is keen to expand the market and take in our training school and other activities and it's a whole new challenge with some superb machinery and support, explained Cole.
