ROUND 10 / NOVEMBER 27-28, 2021
AMERICANMX / DELANO, CALIFORNIA
P74
OFF-ROAD I FMF AMA NATIONAL GRAND PRIX CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
The start saw 3 Bros./Hatch Rac-
ing GasGas rider Giacomo Redondi
lead out of the first turn followed by
Walton, Martinez, Oliveira, and the
rest of the pack, though Martinez
got the lead not too long after with
Oliveira settling into second.
However, Monster Energy/Lava
Propane/Skechers CRF450RX-
mounted Martinez, said, "I figured
he'd be pretty good here. This is a
very hard track for me to ride just
because it's hard-packed. I'm used to
sand and ripping ruts, but I'm getting
better and better at this off-road thing
so I'm really happy with how I rode.
"He made a sweet pass over here
in the flat turns, so I figured I'd just sit
behind him and try and learn how he
does it," Martinez said.
For Oliveira and his Red Bull/
Dunlop/Thor 450 XC-F, the new
AmericanMX venue set in rolling hills
surrounded by orange groves had a
familiar feel. Many remarked how the
layout reminded them of a European
track.
Mateo Oliveira
celebrates winning
Pro II for the fourth
time this season,
though missing a
round with injury
relegated him to third
in class points.
