2010-05-18 00:39
FMF/KTM riders Mike Brown and Kurt Caselli continued their streak of finishing on the podium together - this time with a 2nd and 3rd overall at the fifth round of the WORCS at Honey Lake MX Park.

Brown had a great start, coming off the line in 2nd place behind Ricky Dietrich. Caselli started just outside the top ten. Brown dropped to 3rd once on the first lap but quickly got back in front of the rider and maintained 2nd place. During the first two laps Dietrich was able to put a 20 second gap on Brown which gave him an edge for the remainder of the race. Brown charged hard and rode a solid race to finish in 2nd place and earn valuable points toward the championship title.

Caselli took his mediocre start and moved up into 5th by the end of the first lap. Caselli pit two laps before everyone else on lap 4. Even with his pit stop he still made up time on this lap and caught Justin Soule who he passed for 4th place. The next two laps he spent reeling in the 3rd place ride of Robby Bell. He passed Bell on the sixth lap to move into podium position. Caselli remained in 3rd to the finish to stand on the podium with his teammate.

The RPM/KTM Team was also present at this event. Women's rider Kacy Martinez won the race by over two minutes to strengthen her points lead. Brenden Ritzman had a couple crashes during the Pro event but still managed to finish inside the top ten with 8th overall.
