Dougan switches to Moggstar KTM.

Rising British and World motocross talent, Jason Dougan, has switched from RWJ Honda to the Moggstar KTM team for the remainder of the 2006 racing season.

The nineteen year old Brit - replacing the injured former under 21s British Champion Ben Saunders - will then ride his new SXS 250-F in all remaining rounds of the British MX Championship alongside team-mates Jim Murro and Patrick Gilboy, as well as selected rounds of the World MX Championship.

"I'm pumped to be joining Moggstar and riding on the KTM, which I got a good feel for during a recent test," declared Dougan, a Crash.net columnist. "A few team issues during the first half of this season have made things a bit difficult for me in various ways, so it was a good opportunity when the ride with Moggstar came up. Now I'm just looking forward to this coming weekend for my first race on the KTM, and the rest of the season, to get out there and put my all into some good and fun racing."

"We welcome Jason to the team with open arms," added Moggstar team owner Mark Bishop. "He's one of the UK's brightest motocross prospects, a great lad and his young and trendy image fits very well with the Moggstar clothing brand. We're looking forward to some great racing with Jason over the rest of the year."
