FMF/KTM Race Report – Las Vegas Supercross

Las
Vegas, NV – FMF/KTM rider Phil Nicoletti had an up and down weekend
at the Las Vegas Supercross race at Sam Boyd Stadium.

Nicoletti
started the day well with three solid practices. He qualified 8^th
overall out of the West Lites riders after all practices were through
and returned to the pits to gear up for the heat.

Nicoletti
was in heat number two. He got a great jump coming around the first
turn in 2^nd
position and was in 4^th
by the time they came inside the stadium from the outside start gate.
He remained in 4^th
for the first few laps before he missed a jump and was passed by a
train of three riders that were close behind him. Now in 7^th,
he maintained his pace and finished the heat only losing one more
position to qualify 8^th.

Nicoletti
powerfully launched off the line at the start of the Lites main event
but was pinched off in the first corner due to his outside start
position. When they came inside the stadium he had fallen to the tail
end of the pack and was sitting in 17^th.
After a rough start, Nicoletti began to pick up his lap times and
began making passes. He quickly moved to 15^th
and then a lap later moved up to 14^th.
He was handed 13^th
after Canard crashed and remained there to the finish.

“My
lap times were consistent tonight but I just struggled in some areas.
I am glad to finish the season safely and look forward to outdoors
starting. I definitely want to extend my gratitude to all my sponsors
who have been there for me this season,” remarked Nicoletti
