Factory FMF/KTM rider Kurt Caselli
claimed his third straight victory of the season at the fifth round
of the AMA National Hare & Hound Series to further strengthen his
points lead. The day was even more exciting for the Factory FMF/KTM
Team as Caselli's teammate, Ivan Ramirez,
joined him on the podium in the runner-up position.
Caselli took the lead as the riders neared the end of the bomb run
followed closely by Ramirez. The two remained close on the first
loop and were able to put a good gap on the rest of the pack. By
the second loop Caselli had stretched his lead on Ramirez to just
over two minutes.
On the third and final loop, the riders were given more rocky
terrain which allowed Caselli to further increase his lead on
Ramirez to take the win by nearly five minutes. Ramirez crossed the
finish line in 2nd position, over 8 minutes ahead of the 3rd place
ride of Nick
Burson.
"I was able to get out front early today so I never had to deal
with the dust," commented Caselli. "I am happy to continue my win
streak here and I am looking forward to the sixth round next
weekend in Utah. I hope that my teammate, Ivan, can also join me on
the podium there."
