ST-BRUNO, QC -- KTM Canada has announced a partnership with STONERIDGE, the ALDO Group’s urban footwear brand. For the second year in a row, the ALDO Group has signed on as the main sponsor of the KTM racing team in Canada.

“In term of image and values, KTM’s association with STONERIDGE is a natural fit,” said Andy White, KTM Canada national race manager.

To be eligible for the 2006 STONERIDGE / KTM Contingency Program, a rider must compete in CMRC National Motocross, CMA National Enduro, FMSQ / CMA / PNWMA Hare Scrambles (Masters Class) or CMRC National Supermoto in the Pro Unlimited Class; display the official STONERIDGE sticker on their KTM orange front fender for the duration of the 2006 racing season; and race a 2005 or 2006 year KTM motorcycle for the duration of the 2006 racing season.
