Former WEC champ leaves BMW
According to a statement from BMW, the split was by mutual agreement. BMW says Knight and his G450X racing bike did not harmonize well enough to achieve top placements within this highly competitive environment.
Knight signed with BMW in November 2008 after winning his second-consecutive U.S. Grand National Cross Country title. Knight was one of three high-profile WEC signings by BMW, joining the German brand with former WEC Champion Juha Salminen and Finnish Enduro Champion Marko Tarkkala.
Meanwhile, Tarkkala sits seventh in the E3 class with 107 points, while Salminen is third in the Enduro 2 class with four rounds remaining in the 2009 season.
