Caselli keeps points lead

From KTM Racing

MESQUITE, NV -- Defending WORCS Champion Red Bull KTM rider Kurt Caselli retained the points lead after the second round of the WORCS Series at Mesquite MX Park last Sunday.

RPM KTM rider Kyle Summers grabbed the holeshot around the first turn while Caselli garnered a mid-pack start with his teammate Justin Soule further back around 25th.

With lap 1 complete Summers was still in the lead with Bobby Garrison in tow. Caselli had moved into the top 10 while Soule was also moving forward, already into 14th. A few laps later Caselli had moved into the top five and Soule had broken into the top 10.

Caselli received a quick air filter change when he came in to refuel at the first pit stop but he was back in action in no time. By the halfway mark Soule was sitting in fifth place and Caselli had already moved into second about 15 seconds off the leader.

A crash on lap 10 caused the hard-charging Caselli to lose time on the current leader when he remounted and had to return to the pits to check over the bike. Once he was back on the course he had lost approximately one minute to the leader, Garrison.

Caselli finished a solid second to maintain and lengthen his series points lead. Soule finished an impressive fifth after a near last place start.

Round 3 of the WORCS Series will take place March 14-16 in Lake Havasu, AZ.
