Brown Wins Adelanto WORCS Race


Factory
FMF/KTM rider Mike Brown won his second race of the season after
earning both holeshots and leading every lap of both motos at the
ninth round of the World Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS) held in
Adelanto, CA.



Brown
has always performed well at the Racetown 395 race course and this
weekend’s race was no exception. Brown was unbeatable in his
journey to take the win. “I felt really strong this weekend and my
bike performed flawlessly. It was a great weekend,” remarked Brown.



On
Saturday’s race, while Brown got off to a great start and was
leading the race out front, his teammate and series points’ leader,
Kurt Caselli was not as fortunate. Caselli was 2nd
off the start, but got swapped out on the first lap and crashed at a
high speed in the middle of the course. He and his bike were hit by
other riders. Caselli recovered now riding with a hurt back and
damage to his bike. He rode back to the pits to get the bike in
running order losing many positions and time as they made repairs. At
the end of the moto, Brown took the win and Caselli made a remarkable
recovery to salvage an 8th
place finish.



For
Sunday’s moto, the team had made all necessary repairs to Caselli’s
bike and he was ready to go again although a little sore from the
previous day’s crash. Brown jumped out front early and never looked
back taking an easy win. Caselli started in 3rd
and spent a large part of the race battling with Justin Soule for the
position. With two laps remaining he was able to make the pass stick
on Soule and went on to pull away from the rider to take the final
podium spot. Caselli’s 8-3 scores earned him 5th
overall for the day.



Brown’s
event win moved him to 2nd
place in the overall championship point’s standings behind Caselli
who still holds the lead.



In the
Women’s class, RPM/KTM rider Kacy Martinez took another win after
making a last lap pass on fellow KTM rider Elizabeth Bash to move
into the lead and take the victory. Her win strengthened her points
lead and moved her one step closer to claiming another WORCS title.
