Caselli Finishes 3rd at Primm WORCS


FMF/KTM
Factory rider Kurt Caselli landed on the podium for the second time
this season, this time finishing 3rd
overall at the second round of the WORCS in Primm, NV.



The
WORCS has switched to a two-moto format this year with the first moto
running on Saturday afternoon and the second moto taking place on
Sunday afternoon. Caselli remained consistent both days finishing 3rd
on Saturday and repeating that finish during Sunday’s moto for 3rd
place overall.



During
his first moto, Caselli garnered a 10th
place start. He spent the majority of the race climbing up to podium
position and finished approximately one minute behind the leaders,
Bobby Garrison and Taylor Roberts.



“Saturday
was a bit rough for me. I had some bike set up issues that plagued me
early in the race but I was still able to make up some time and was
glad to finish with a top three result,” remarked Caselli. “Sunday
was much better as we were able to make some adjustments to my bike
and it ran great for the second day. Unfortunately, I had another
rough start but I was able to charge forward much quicker and only
finished about 10 seconds off the pace of the leaders.”



Caselli,
the reigning WORCS Champion, has mentioned that in order to remain in
contention for a repeat Championship, he will need to finish on the
podium at each event. He met his goal at the second round and now
remains 2nd
in the overall point standings just five points behind series leader
Bobby Garrison.



The
second member of the FMF/KTM Racing Team, Mike Brown, had a touch of
bad luck during Sunday’s moto that ruined his overall score. Brown
put together a solid ride during Saturday’s moto to finish 5th
overall and was running in the same position for the majority of the
race on Sunday. Unfortunately, on the final lap Brown ran out of gas
and was not able to finish the race. His overall moto scores earned
him 11th
for the weekend.
