Enduro ace Nathan Watson will go back to motocross to contest the Hawkstone Park International on February 11. The factory KTM ace, who was second at the Le Touquet beach race on Sunday, quit MXGPs in 2016 and went full-time to enduro in 2017 for KTM. He also raced at Hawkstone last year on his enduro bike, complete with headlight.

He replaces Bulgarian MXGP rider Petar Petrov who has crashed his Assomoto Honda and broken his collarbone.
