Round 10 – WORCS – September 10, 2017
DEVORE, Calif. – FMF KTM Factory Racing Team’s Taylor Robert won his third straight World Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS) race on Sunday in the Pro class at Glen Helen Raceway. Robert took the lead early in the race and won on the combined offroad and motocross track.

 

Robert won the first two rounds of the series before an injury kept him out of the next four. He has now won all five WORCS races in which he’s competed this year. He came into the event after having won his class in the Six Day Enduro ISDE race in France.

 

A slight breeze helped cut down on the 90-degree temperatures at race start. The track was run in reverse from the previous WORCS round at Glen Helen and utilized the rim track, the Lucas track, the Glen Helen track, as well as a 20-foot long firewood log section.

 

Robert just missed the holeshot aboard his KTM 450 XC-F, but was soon in the lead and dominated most of the two-hour event.

 

Robert: “The whole bike was working great: the FMF pipe, the Dunlop tires, and the whole FMF/KTM Factory Racing Team was flawless today. I wouldn’t want to be on any other bike. We were neck and neck at the start and it was ripping up the hills. I was loving it.”

 

Additionally, KTMs finished first, second and third in the Pro 2 class as points leader Dante Oliveira won his fifth race of the season. Mitch Anderson was second, followed by Alex Dorsey.

 

In Pro 2 Lights, KTM riders Austin Serpa and motocross racer Conner Mullennix finished second and third.
