Round 11 - WORCS - November 25, 2019

PRIMM, Nev. – Fresh off a top performance from the 2019 International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) in Portimao, Portugal, FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Taylor Robert returned to his national racing schedule on Sunday to compete in the final round of the 2019 World Off-Road Championship Series where he finished second overall for the day in Primm, Nevada.

Robert, who was crowned WORCS Champion one round early, came into the 11th and final round with seven wins and three runner-up finishes under his belt. He looked to keep that momentum rolling as he captured the holeshot and early lead in the race. He was passed by Zach Bell near the end of the first lap and he continued to fight for the lead spot. However, on lap two Robert went down in the 'Pro section' and dropped 21 seconds back, losing all of his early momentum. From there, Robert struggled to make up ground as a series of crashes would continue to plague him through the end of the race. 

Despite a self-proclaimed ‘off day’, Robert was still able to put forth a solid performance to earn second overall, where he concluded the season with a substantial lead in the championship standings.

Taylor Robert: “I didn’t ride well today. I had four big crashes and just didn’t feel like myself out there but overall I’m happy with how the season went, claiming the championship and ending the season healthy.”
