ROBERT WINS GLEN HELEN WORCS A fter the long summer break, FMF/KTM's Taylor Robert picked up where he left off with his third straight win in the mo- torcycle Pro class at the Rocky Mountain ATV-MC WORCS Series, presented by Toyota and Dirt Bike, at Glen Helen Race- way, September 16. Zach Bell (Husqvarna) finished second in front of Trevor Stewart (Honda) in third. The Glen Helen race was the first after a three-month sum- mer break, and the racers were treated to near perfect condi- tions. Robert's win didn't come eas- ily, however, after Bell grabbed the holeshot and set the early fast pace. Robert chased him until the second lap before tak- ing over the lead, which was fairly impressive considering Robert nearly sat out the race after crashing into a water barrier during practice on Friday, and reinjuring his broken wrist. "I hit one of the barriers in, like, third gear, wide open and injured the same hand I broke six weeks ago," Robert said. "I didn't think I was going to race this morning, so to be able to come out here and win after that makes it, even a little bit more special." Bell took second and gained some much-needed points.
