Redondi Wraps Up AMA WHS
Championship
"A
s soon as I saw the track, I
was feeling at home. I live
close to a lake in Italy and we
have a big river like this one. I
grew up riding this stuff—maybe a
little bit less wet than today."
Thus said 3Bros/Kilmartin
Racing GasGas rider Giacomo
Redondi after topping the inaugu-
ral River Regatta Hare Scramble
at Riverdale Raceway, round six
of the AMA West Hare Scrambles
(WHS) Regional Championship
Series, presented by MojoMoto-
Sport.
Redondi's third triumph of the
season gives him an insurmount-
able 154 points while LiquiMoly
Beta's Zane Roberts—third on the
day—is 33 points back at 121. De-
fending series number one and
holeshot winner Austin Serpa is
a distant third at 91 after the Car-
son City Motorsports KTM rider
finished seventh.
"I got not a perfect start—I think
I was third—then I got [doused
and] super-wet on the second
straight, but after that, by the
river on the rocks, I took the
lead. From there, I did my own
rhythm," Redondi said. Though
he had to change goggles at the
end of the first lap, he never lost
the lead and led all 14 laps over
two and a half hours aboard his
FMF/Dunlop/Seven-sponsored
EX 450F. "I'm pretty stoked about
this season."
After winning the Best in the
Desert World Hare & Hound
Championship in Tonopah,
Nevada, on Saturday, 3Bros/
