Honda, Sherco, EWC, SuperEnduro – David Knight packed a lot into the 2013 season. Enduro21 takes a look back at the five most popular David Knight features from the last 12 months…

The highest viewed David Knight feature in 2013 is ‘Knight’s Day In The Mud’. Coming straight in at number one this video grabbed everyone’s attention when Knight brought road race legends John McGuinness, Jonathan Rea and Carl Crutchlow out for a laid back, muddy day of enduro riding on the Isle of Man.

The reversed starting order delivered up some incredible action as Knight rode his way from last to first to capture his debut victory with Honda.
