Roberts led from the bomb
to the checkered flag at
the 100s Motorcycle Club's Fast
Times at Johnson Valley Na
-
tional, the ninth and final round
of the AMA Hare & Hound
National Championship Series,
presented by FMF.
That brought his season total
to five wins—a career best—but
it wasn't enough to hold on to
the number-one plate, as FMF
KTM Factory Off-Road Racing
Team star Dante Oliveira did
exactly what he needed to do.
In finishing second on the day,
his consistency over the course
of the season provided enough
points to claim the champion
-
ship in his first try. Thanks to a
remarkably consistent season
that found him atop the podium
twice, he was runner-up seven
other times, while the defending
series champ's five victories,
three thirds and a fourth left
him four points shy of Oliveira,
235-231.
