Robby Bell WORCS Bag Opener and Dakar Wrap
In 2013, Robby Bell won the first round of the ATV / MC World Series Championships Mountain Off-Road Rocky (WORCS) and went on to win the first course.
Last year, Gary Sutherlin won the first game and went on to claim the championship.
Will the pattern repeat this year?
Campana certainly hopes and concepts accurately Kawasaki rider once again won the first round of WORCS in Taft, California, which has almost all the way. FMF KTM support rider in second Sutherlin installed immediately, but was unable to keep up, although he departed from third rider Justin Jones. Bell teammate Justin Seeds and FMF / Maxxis / RPM KTM Racing Team Eric Yorba Pros completed the top five.
In Pro 2, Michael Del Fante mimicked the performance of Bell, leader of the kind at every turn for victory over Steven Gibson with Dalton Shirey third.

The Dakar Rally came to an exciting conclusion in Buenos Aires on Saturday after nearly 6000 miles through three countries over two weeks. Red Bull KTM Marc Coma controls that final week with the born of four wins Dakar previous experience; although it did not win a single stage in the last week, did not like his pursuers were all victims of one subject or another. Accumulated a total time of 46 hours, three minutes and 49 seconds.
As expected, the HRC team provided the greatest challenge to the power of giant KTM factory team riders CRF450 Rally proving extremely competitive and riders of all up to the task, and the demonstration of selfless team work.
In the end, the Red Riders finished with seven stage wins of the 13 stages, Paulo Goncalves runner-up honors winning back Coma 16:53. In Australia Toby Price completed the podium in his first Dakar, the KTM supported factory drawing attention to their historic victory stage 12 to become a member of that select group of individuals who have won a stage in his first appearance in Dakar .
Nor can we ignore Team HRC Laia Sanz, his fifth in the eighth and ninth stage overall final result much better for any woman in history.
Note the only Americans to finish were Robby Gordon and Johnny Campbell in the car category, post 19th overall after several time-consuming problems during the race. But they end on a high note by winning the final stage.
An American who hopes to get a crack in Dakar in the near future is Colton Udall. The pilot WFOx Motorsports Honda recently agreed to run in the race Tatts Finke Desert, one of classic off-road racing in Australia in June.
A number of Western-based SUV racers traveled to Ohio, but not for a career. Instead, he went to get his 2014 championship hardware in the annual AMA Championship Banquet. These AMA / SRT Hare & Hound National Champion Ricky Brabec were, some of whom had never flown or Ohio before.-Mark Kariya.
Kenda AMA National Enduro Kicks
Andrew DeLong attempt to defend his title in 2014 AMA National Enduro Series Kenda this year.
Kenda AMA National Enduro Series this year begins on February 1 with a round of 10-round series in Sumter, South Carolina.
The 2015 season is shaping up to be the most exciting in a long time, with no fewer than 760 entries in a row for the first round - the largest ever - plus a pro incorrectly completed field stacked with a ton of heavyweights.
Of course, Andrew DeLong will be back to defend their national title 2014, however, the driver backed Rockstar Energy Racing Husqvarna factory goes against the likes of Baylor Brothers (Steward and Grant), Russell Bobbitt, Charlie Mullins, Jesse Groemm, Cory Buttrick, Brad Bakken, Ryder Lafferty and stars outside the Australian road Josh Strang and Daniel Milner.
This year we will also see an unprecedented amount of participation from the factory with the series, as Husqvarna, KTM, Yamaha, Beta, Suzuki and Gas Gas all be represented with some type of supported equipment manufacturer, including Airgroup Racing.
Although the race starts at 9:00 am Sunday, there will be plenty to do and see on Saturday, along with the best USA Pro Trials Logan Bolopue holding a demonstration trials in the pits at 3 pm. Meanwhile, KTM will host a spaghetti dinner at 5pm.
