T
aylor Robert made his first step toward defending
his WORCS number-one plate a successful one by
winning the season opener at Buffalo Bill's Resort &
Casino. Robert, on the FMF/KTM Racing 450 XC-F, got
out in front early and managed to keep his teammate, Dante
Oliveira, at bay for the next two hours to take the win.
The Primm race, which is held on the grounds of the
Buffalo Bill's Resort & Casino on the Nevada side of Cali-
fornia/Nevada border just outside Las Vegas, featured an
approximately 10-minute-lap racecourse and a technical
Pro section made up of logs, rocks and K-rails.
In the Pro class, Robert jumped out to a third-place
start, but the defending champion wouldn't stay there for
long. He quickly moved into second early in lap one, and
then he set his sights on the leader, Zach Bell, on the
Precision Concepts/Monster Energy Kawasaki.
