Factory
FMF/KTM riders Mike Brown and Kurt Caselli topped the podium at the
fourth round of the WORCS held at Cahuilla Creek MX Park in Anza, CA.
Brown
and Caselli finished 1st
and 2nd
respectively during Saturday’s 1 hour plus one lap moto. Both
riders put together another solid performance for Sunday’s moto
with Caselli repeating his 2nd
place finish and Brown finishing 3rd
overall. Brown’s 1-3 moto scores earned him the overall win for the
weekend while Caselli’s duplicate 2nd
place finishes landed him in the runner up spot.
Brown
nailed the holeshot in the second moto and led the first two laps
before allowing Bobby Garrison and Ricky Dietrich to get by. He stuck
on their tails for the next lap before he had a big get off in the
off-road section. “I got all swapped out in the back and ended up
going over the bars and rolling down a hill,” commented Brown.
“Luckily I wasn’t hurt and my bike was okay but I definitely lost
a lot of time.”
Brown
recovered from his crash in 5th
position and spent the remainder of the race getting back into podium
position. In the final lap of the race Brown and Justin Soule battled
it out for the 3rd
position. Brown edged out Soule for the position in the final few
turns to earn 3rd
overall and the victory for the weekend.
Caselli
started Sunday’s moto in 10th
position and used the first three laps to work his way into the top
five. Once in 5th
it was apparent that Caselli was moving at a much faster pace than
the group ahead of him and within the next lap he had jumped from 5th
to 2nd
overall where he remained for the remainder of the race.
“I
felt really good today and was happy with my ride. I wish I could
have had a better start but I was able to move up pretty quickly and
am happy to be on the podium with my teammate,” remarked Caselli.
