  TAYLOR ROBERT CLAIMS WORCS VICTORY AT ROUND 2 FMF KTM Factory Racing’s Taylor Robert claimed his second-straight victory in the World Off-Road Championship Series (WORCS) on Sunday for Round 2 of the 11-round series in Primm, Nevada. Additionally, KTM-mounted riders claimed top honors in the other two pro divisions as Logan Chambers captured the Pro 2 victory and Austin Serpa topped the Pro 2 Lites class. Robert was able to keep his KTM 450 XC-F out front from start to finish as he led all nine laps of the two-hour race. Beginning with a 10-second lead on the opening lap, Robert continued to stretch his lead over the course of the race where he ultimately finished almost two minutes ahead of the 2nd place rider Gary Sutherlin. Robert: “The race was awesome! We had perfect weather and the track conditions were good – it was really fast and rough. I had a good start and quickly got into the lead. I tried to check out and just focus on riding my own race all the way to the checkers.” In the Pro 2 class, KTM-mounted rider Logan Chambers earned his second consecutive win to extend his early points lead in the class. FMF/Maxxis/RPM KTM Racing Team’s Dante Oliveira put forth an impressive come-from-behind performance to capture 2nd after an early pit stop put him in dead last on the opening lap. KTM-mounted Austin Serpa earned his first victory of the season in the Pro 2 Lites class, where he now sits one-point ahead in the early championship standings. Next Event: Round 3 – Taft, California – February 17-19, 2017 RESULTS FROM ROUND 2 CHAMPIONSHIP STANDINGS (AFTER 2 OF 11 ROUNDS)
