Round 6 - WORCS - May 28, 2018

CEDAR CITY, Utah – FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Taylor Robert earned his second-straight WORCS victory over the weekend for Round 6 of the series at Iron Mine Race Park. Despite missing two rounds earlier in the season due to injury, Robert continues to work his way through the championship standings with three overall wins in only three rounds entered.

 

Robert powered his KTM 450 XC-F to a third-place position off the start but he was forced to navigate through a cloud of dust on the opening lap. He moved into second before the end of lap one and eventually made his way into the lead on lap two. From there, he was able to enjoy a clear track ahead as he went on to capture a 44-second victory over the second-place rider.

 

Taylor Robert: “The wind was brutal at a steady 25 mph, which made it extremely tough for the WORCS crew to keep enough water on the course, even with four water trucks. With the course drying out that quickly, I knew a good start was going to be important because of the dust. I wasn't able to get the holeshot but I came out in third behind Sutherlin and Bell. I got around Sutherlin as quickly as possible but Bell was riding really well so I had to push super hard to make it through his dust and get on his rear wheel. We had a close battle until I was able to pull a few seconds on him and then I had the dust to my advantage. I rode the rest of the race safe and smart through the dusty and windy conditions to take home another WORCS win.”

 

In the Pro 2 class, FMF/RPM/KTM rider Austin Serpa finished 55 seconds ahead of the competition to earn his second-straight victory in the class. Additionally, KTM-mounted rider Mitch Anderson grabbed the final podium position with third place in the class.
