Racing into AIMExpo the pros at KTM North America Inc. announced Darian Sanayei as its Amateur Racing Manager entering the 2025 season. KTM USA’s long standing official amateur development platform – KTM Orange Brigade — and Sanayei’s personal experience in competing as both an amateur and professional racer himself will help him guide the next generation. He will also cooperate with former amateur team manager Nathan Ramsey.
“I’m excited to take on the role of Amateur Racing Manager with such a respected group,” says Sanayei. “Having come up through the amateur ranks myself, I understand the challenges and dedication it takes to succeed at every level. I’m looking forward to using my experience to guide and support the team, helping each rider reach their full potential as we work together toward success.”
Ramsey adds, “I am confident that Darian will bring a wealth of knowledge to this role, having successfully navigated the amateur racing ladder himself and made the transition to a professional career. His experience will be invaluable in helping guide our young athletes as they begin their own journeys. Darian is a great fit for the team and I look forward to working closely with him both this year and for many years to come.”
KTM North America Inc. extends its thanks to previous KTM Orange Brigade Amateur Racing Manager Daniel Blair for his success and contributions to the amateur program over the past two years.
