Oliveira, Robert Split Glen Helen
WORCS Doubleheader
K
TM's Dante Oliveira and Tay-
lor Robert recorded victories
during the Rocky Mountain ATV-
MC WORCS Series, Presented
by Polaris RZR and Dirt Bike Pro
Motorcycle, doubleheader at
Glen Helen Raceway, September
19-20. The two-race weekend
represented rounds four and
five of the 2020 season. Mateo
Oliveira, Tyler Lynn and Brandy
Richards won both rounds of the
Pro 2, Pro 2 Lights and Women
Pro classes, respectively.
The events were held on Glen
Helen's circuit that features
extensive hills, off-road sections
and a world-class motocross
track. On Sunday, officials added
two special Pro technical rock
sections. Temperatures were
warm all weekend, making fitness
key during each day's 75-minute-
plus-one-lap races.
In Saturday's Pro race, Dante
Oliveira took the holeshot and
held the lead until he pitted one
lap before Robert. Meanwhile
Robert was not having a good
race. After crashing on the
second lap, he attempted to hold
the lead throughout his pit stop
and left early, spilling fuel all over
himself and his bike. That handed
Oliveira the lead and he went
on to win. Robert was second,
ahead of Austin Walton.
"I'm pumped; that was an awe-
some win," said Oliveira after re-
cording his first victory in the class.
"That definitely wasn't my fin-
est performance," said Robert.
"Dante was riding phenomenally,
and I didn't have much room for
mistakes. I was digging myself
out of a hole the entire race. He
was going to pass me in the pits,
and I got a little antsy and pulled
