Upshift: Could you then become a team manager with KTM? Or help with the development? TB: “I don’t think I can become team manager. I don’t see myself in such a role. On the other hand I like development. I have a lot of patience and good instincts when it comes to testing. When they design a new bike years before production starts they ask us to test them and help push them in the right direction. For Fox, I helped develop goggles for the Legion line for Enduro. I like these projects but I wouldn’t like to do it full-time. I want to keep some free time after the race.” Upshift: Could you take a big bike such as a 1090R and go on an adventure alone without
