FMF KTM Factory rider Kailub
Russell took his second win of the season at the Inyan Kara
National Enduro, the sixth round of the AMA Kenda National Enduro
Series, to further increase his lead in the championship
standings.
Russell topped the board twice during the day finishing first on
test one and test three. He finished in the runner-up spot on the
remaining three tests (the fifth test was thrown out due to
excessive mud). His consistency paid off and allowed him to walk
away with an easy win nearly two minutes ahead of the second place
ride of his teammate Russell
Bobbitt.
Bobbitt also took two test wins on the day in tests two and four.
Unfortunately, his fourth place finishes in test one and six caused
him to fall behind Russell and he was unable to close the gap.
Fellow KTM rider Ian Blythe held on for third to round out the
podium and make it a KTM podium sweep for the day.
"I was pretty comfortable all day," stated Russell after his win.
"It was muddy in places but overall a pretty fun place to ride. My
KTM had no issues throughout the day and I felt confident in each
test."
Now six rounds into the series, Russell holds a 28 point lead in
the championship standings over Bobbitt and KTM support rider
Steward Baylor.
